No I’m not sure why. The guy that did them sucked at life.
I think he’s going to blame it on the parts, although the parts were brand fucking new (advanced auto rotors and bendix pads).
…
I’m pissed.

I love the smell of brakes in the morning… it smells like… money out the window!
Caliper replacement isn’t too hard, is just the parts that can get alittle expensive. I would get someone you know to replace it though. Any tech with half a brain and a real concience would have spotted that before it became a problem.

if you have a second car to drive you can save some money having yours rebuilt. if not buy one thats already rebuilt and return yours for the core charge.

you can probably take the old one apart and clean it up or clean the sliders up and that won’t cost you anything.

Good news: my mom is on vacation, so if it is the caliper, I can sort of use her car. Sometimes. And probably just have them both rebuilt. 🙂
