Good brake shop in Houston area?

I am in need of some brake work. Pedal shakes when first depressed.
Almost a given it is a warped rotor. I just had the fronts turned a couple of months ago. So I am looking for a reliable brake shop. Any recommendations?

NTB wants $50 to install my Yellowstuffs on the front and turn the rotors - sounds pretty reasonable, right?

Jody at Unleashed Autosports contacted me and said he would look at the problem.
I drove up to Unleashed Autosports yesterday.
Jody took off the front passenger side wheel and
immediately noticed the problem. Not the brakes at all.
The lower control arms were worn such that they move around.
I think this is the same as the compression rods. Anyway, he is replacing them today.

Hi Dave!

Yep it's me Ryan. I unfortunately have suffered the effects of this economy and have been laid off my job. Which really bites b/c it was 5 min away from the house Been looking around for a new job but IT jobs seem scarce.

Anywho, yeah I started this side business to grab some extra cash since unemployment isn't enough to pay the house and bills. I'll still be doing this even after I get a job just b/c I live on 'driver and it's a fun hobby.
