Brake Relining Resource in Los Angeles County (Pomona)

This might be helpful to members in the IE, OC or LA County areas of Southern California.

 

My reliable old school auto parts store provided me this source for brake relining:

 

Valley Brake Supply

1202 Price Street

Pomona, CA 91767

909-622-2500

 

They don't provide phone quotes. They'd rather see the items before quoting prices but my 4 brake shoes were $30 total to reline and that included having them arc'd to the turned drums. They also turn drums at $10 each.

 

The also do the relining of the Emergency Brake for $35.

 

Turnaround time is 2 days and they are open Monday through Friday.

That's such a deal.

$80.00 minimum for a set of 4 shoes around here.

They're not paying themselves much for labor, if anything. It takes time to remove old linings, clean up the cores and reinstall new linings. I'd expect the linings by themselves to cost that much, let alone install and arc.

Thank you very much for this post. You saved me a lot of time and hassle trying to find a place. I dropped off all four drums and 8 shoes today and he quoted me $74 for it all. Very much appreciated

There is another guy in Upland:

Karp's Power Brake Service

66 N Central Ave, Upland, CA 91786               (909)985-0800

He bored out my master cylinder and wheel cylinders and installed stainless steel sleeves to promote long service life.  I had a great experience.

My friend that would sleeve my wheel cylinders in bronze retired about a decade ago.  So I am glad to find Karp's....
