Cheapest place to install brakes in Bay Area?
Hey, I have a 2012 WRX and I just purchased new lines, rotors, pads, and fluid. I was wondering where the cheapest place to get quality service done in the Bay Area is. Rotors have already arrived and the rest of the parts should be here by Friday. If someone can give me a good recomendation before then so I can schedule an appointment asap I would really appreciate it.

cheap and quality never belong in the same sentence. If you want good work, LIC, fwmotorsports, Autoheadquarters, GST, Speedelement, RBMS

Have had brakes done at RBMS and SpeedElement. (Labor only, I provided parts.) Very reasonable and much less than dealer. Thumbs up to both.

Your garage/driveway/parking lot? Brakes are pretty damn easy.

How many times did you need to go back afterwards to try and get stuff corrected only to be told it is not their fault?

This is just normal maintenance, any shop can handle it.
I wouldn't use the Quick Lube's of the world (for anything) but outside of that it's not brain surgery

Agreed.

Honest, good service along with reasonable labor pricing.
