Any garage with Euro car experience should do fine. The brake lines use ISO (bubble) flares, which aren't found on US/Japanese cars. If you're paying to have them done, you might as well do it right, and get cupro-nickle lines (Nicopp and Cunifer are the major brands), which should last forever (as opposed to galvanized steel). The stuff is great to work with, much easier to form than steel. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_x_16190029-P_x_x
