Tones52 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Posted August 26, 2016 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. 4 Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted August 26, 2016 Report Posted August 26, 2016 That's such a deal. $80.00 minimum for a set of 4 shoes around here. Quote
Dave72dt Posted August 28, 2016 Report Posted August 28, 2016 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. 1 Quote
greg g Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 I took brake drums for AH Sprite to a place here 30 bucks to turn all four. There are still places if you search them out. I was tipped to this place by an old truck mechanic at a cruise in. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 At those prices how could there be any profit. Quote

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 2 Quote
classiccarjack Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 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. 2 Quote
