Good place to install brake pads in LA...Anyone?

I called a couple of places and they are trying to charge $80-$90 for installation on the front brake pads. I only need the fronts done and I already have the pads. Anyone know of a good place that won't charge so much. I know that it is not a hard job but I do not have the tools to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

hm.. are u worried about price or quality of job??

if its the quality you are more worried about. Street Image in Baldwin park is the way to go. IMO, its not a good way to go cheap on labor.

thats just me

Actually, I was more or less looking for someone that would help me out since I would like to learn how to do it myself anyways.
