Default Looking for shop to help diagnose suspension/break issues...

Hello all...

I'm currently looking for a shop here in maryland that can diagnose some suspension/brake problems i'm having. Actually, i haven't been able to pin down the issue(s) myself and the shop I usually go to isn't getting the job done. Any suggestions would be great and please don't bother with NTB, etc. (unless you work there and know about hondas). Thanks!!

sounds like a rubbing of the rotors and brake pads at low speeds and possibly poor balancing at high speeds. could also be suspension related, etc. unfortantely, it's hard to explain with words...it's much easier to do with a ride-a-long, or by a mechanic.

Drive in reverse really fast and then slam on the brakes. (edit, not really fast but maybe 10-15). your brakes should be self adjusting. And this process will help your brakes adjust themselfs.
