i showed the wife the suspect rotor
on her left rear brakes....perfectly visable....
it's all chewed up and making the grinding noise
she takes it to a friend who's
son just happens to work for midas
and wants some side jobs......ok

what does he do....???
he replaces the front brakes instead...
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :bc:
:af::splat::whackin::wall::shocked:

now i have to go git her car today
after makin an emergency call:call:
begging for a mechanic friend
to fix it this afternoon....

people just do not listen.....:hs:

people just do not listen.....:hs:

They don't listen, and ya can't tell 'em anything either Rav. :doh:

WTF =your kid ><>><> that,s what I,d expect /after lstening too you :jump1:

That kid soulds like a few of the (white) yound (Stupid and lazy) kids I work with !!!
The Brazinians work circles around them all day long !!!

If you don't feel comfortable doing brakes yourself, Freakin' Never let some kid do it as a "side job". If he didn't know front from rear, I can't imagine what else he didn't know. Get the whole mess checked out.

I call them the Bambi generation.


If you get mad at them they look at you like a deer in the head liglts.

:wall:

we gave him some paper work that said the rear rotors needed replacement!!!!
so thats why he figured: that means repair the front brakes...instead.........:think:

right? and of course....he's soooooo abzalootly correct.ya know...

i couldn't believe it....:conf:

um no jake...i'm not swinging any hammers lately.....my elbo pain level is 9.5 on a 1- 10 scale....and i just got the name of a specialist to go get a cortizone injection...which i always swore i'd never ....do...but it's more than my pain killers can manage.... even two 800 milligram motrins won't even phase it...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
i'm lucky that i can still run the chain saw.....less percussion...:uhuh:

so ,i wasn't about to bang off the rotors.... and my mechanic friend who swapped out my van axel in less than 7 minutes...and a cadillac motor in less than an hour...

took extreme joy in banging on that sucker (on the one side) for 30 minutes for some extra cash...as he just laid out 100 grand rebuilding his house ...where i often shoot pool.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
rescue mission status:
last friday night my wifes radio caught on fire...or at least flooded the car with smoke ....on the way home killing the battery :huh: stuck!

this friday night the injectors got fouled or clogged or sumthin requiring
rescue mission number two..... just dropped it off...as the sucka ain't gonna climb no more hills....:yawn:....as is...

all this mechanical failure crap is preventing me from buying some much needed waders... :hs:
or keeps me in the buy more plugs poor-house :rotf3:

its great when you spend like 800 bucks on something at the shop then you need to fix it again because it wasn't done right. Not that I'm bitter but sometimes you have to wonder about the guys who work at the dealerships. Not all of them of course, but it seems that they know less and less.
