Recommend a good mechanic for brake issues?

[Vlad]

Hi guys,

I have a 2008 Swift and I am encountering some brake issues. The pedal is pretty hard to push, so am suspecting a brake booster issue? The car judders when at low speed when applying the brake. The pads are fine.

Can you recommend a good mechanic? I live in Madiwela.

There are plenty of garages around here, but in there are also too many inept mechanics around, and since this is an issue with the brakes I want to get it done properly and not get ripped off at the same time. I took my car once to a place in Kohuwala (near Laugfs), and they were somewhat expensive and also didn't do a complete job. When I returned and complained, the answers were vague and dismissive. I'm sure you all have been through this before. So I don't want to just walk into a some garage and get them checked out without some prior recommendation.

Thank you.

(Apologies if this question has been asked before, but I could find anything relevant in the search.)

Worthwhile getting the braking system checked beyond the booster too.

Like if caliper pins are not sticking and pistons are moving freely as they should. 

I get my work done at Bruce Motorsports. They are passing Malabe and you can locate on google. 

Not a complicated fix so most shops should be able to sort it out.
