Default looking for careful shop~

Hi,
I need to change my oil, roate my tires, and check my brake(there is squeeking sound when i hit the brake initially and gone when i fully press it).
I have some bad experience with other shop.
They did not screw down the oil pan screw so there was leaking issue.
or..they scratches my aftermarket wheels when they rotate my wheels.
So, if you do know where I should go for great careful service let me know.
Thanks guys.

People on here can show you how to do those things pretty easily. Are you just looking for the facilities to do it quickly?

i wish i have time to do it by myself.
I cannot do it by myself..because..
I dont have tool...
Even if i do, my working hour is crazy....which I dont have alot of time.
So, it would be the best to go to some nice shop or person to do it for me.
so, let me know who or which shop can do this for me.
BTW i need some expert on brake.
I searched the forum and the guy is saying the metal bracket surrounding brake pad is making that noise?
I need to confirm it for sure.

There are little metal clips on the brake pads that scratch your rotors as a warning indicator to change your brakes.

Try PM'ing azndragon669, he's the guy who lives at the LCT (little Chinatown) garage.

I dunno if they'll be there this SUnday, but the kids at LCT can do all that basic stuff.

If you just want to have your fluids and brakes changed, ask Nathan.

You'll just need bring the replacement parts and fluids and take the old used fluids with you when you leave for recycling.
