I find the shop rates for both FOT and MOT reasonable due to being provided an individual that knows his job, not guessing or goofing off.  Never have looked for a bargin, just honest work, both seem to provide correctly.  Meaning I have not felt that I have been abused.  Have atg other shops.
My only issue with FOT, they rarely ever can work me into their schedule in less than 4-6 weeks out, MOT & Xtreme always make room for me to fit my schedule, Simple choice.
In general, the MOT, FOT & Xtreme are the only shops I feel comfy in.
The shop in I-10 Bay Town east of Houston, also does good for what they do.

It may be too late (we were traveling and off-line yesterday) but:

I would wait for the Ladies Driving School and have FOT do the brakes.

Thanks Harvey, but the tech did adjust the slack adjusters after changing the wheel seal. He did use clay based grease. I am going to have FOT do a front end alignment so I will have them check the brakes then. The pads were about 90% and the one next to the leaking seal had some oil on the inner pad, but cleaned up nicely with some brake cleaner.
