Cheap Cars

[blackbucket]

When I lived in SA, I twice took my ex's Supra to Brake Check for diagnosis. On both occassions, they quoted me twice the work and twice the price that was actually necessary. They really, truly are rip off artists. Somebody needs to clue a local station or even 20/20 on to these sheisters.

We took a truck into brake check one time,

and it was just adjusting the brakes, and changing the oil, not only was it alot of money, but they ed up the rear end!!

Brake Check is the ultimate Body Solution's award winner.

But, but Gervin said to go there.

Engine had 61k on it and for the 30k I had it, had an oil change every 3k. I do the maintence myself to make sure it's done right. The oil in the engine was not an issue.

I do the maintence myself

The moral of that stort is don't EVER EVER EVER go to Brake Check for ANYTHING...they are the ultimate scam shop and make a living out of screwing every customer that walks through the door...

I took a 78 Camaro to the Brake Check on Broadway for slipping brakes. They told me I needed a new mastercylinder and power booster and it would be $600, which I informed them I not only didn't have, but wouldn't have for the forseeable future so thanks but no thanks.

I purchased a new mastercylinder and power booster from NAPA for $180, and paid a mechanic buddy $80 and all the beer he could drink while he installed it.

$600 or $260 and beer...hmmm...lemme think about that one for a while...
