Brakes Plus (Evans / Colorado - Denver)

[ChrisCBX]

Many years ago, my dad took his car into a chain brake repair place.

Same thing happened to him as many other folks on this thread. They claimed that he needed repairs that would cost something like 4X what he was originally quoted. He told them to put it back together and he would come and get it. They were not happy.

He went to the garage and they gave him the car. On the way home a wheel fell off. They hadn't tightened the lug nuts on the wheel.

Same happened to my grandmother. rear wheel fell off.

Due to economics back in the day and experiences like the ones mentioned, I learned to be my own mechanic. I then became a true motorhead over time.

While I can afford to have a pro repair my vehicles these days, I still prefer to do it myself.

I'm getting ready to redo the brakes on our Tundra.
