 I brought her in for new brakes all around, wheel balance, oil change and CV joint. He says to me, "So what's wrong with your brakes?" I said I dunno, they felt weird, 146k miles with no service records." He said there are plenty of brake life left, all around.  I'll gladly pay him for his time looking at them, but I have a feeling he is such a stand-up guy he won't even charge me for that time.Hey I'm an enthusiast not a car mechanic! -------------------- '92 Grey Mitsubishi 3000GT SL - Sold

At least you guys aren't chicks! We can get screwed worse than anyone by mechanics figuring "girls don't know anything." I admit, I really didn't used to know anything...now that I'm dating a mechanics son, though, I really don't have a choice, lol. I can recommend a mechanic in Los Angeles that I know doesn't do that crap...and if any of you ever move down here then don't worry, my mechanic will hook you up
He even gives you rides while your car is in his shop! lol...I love him... --------------------  "I bet you drive a standard." "You could make some money off that bet." :D |
