Los Angeles-Brakes

I am ready to make my first trip to the mechanic with my 04' MCS/black. I drove it over from Chicago to LA and I'm noticing the calipers are sticking even after i just got the brakes changed in Chicago. Is there anybody that knows a reliable and professional mechanic that could do the job well in the Los Angeles area.
THanks

Is it the inside caliper that's sticking? It's possible the mechanic didn't properly attach the springs on the back of the brake pad to the piston which would cause the pad to rub and not retract when the piston did.

Actually let me back track, are you sure it's the caliper and not the brake pad that is sticking?

Call Steve at Steve's Auto Clinic (818) 891-6109. He is located in the San Fernando Valley in North Hills, not far from LA. 16205 Nordhoff Street, North Hills. He is great. He is well noted for his excellent work with mini's.
