You’re the one making a claim, friend. I’m just saying that rotors and pads in the referenced car need not be changed at the same time and that’s just a fact.

Fine. A mechanic friend formerly at Import Auto Haus, a service manager at Jerry's Ford who oversaw recalls on a car I owned, a manager at Royal Service Center in Alexandria who took care of two of my cars, and a buddy of mine from a car club whose dad owned a garage that we used to use for car modding all have talked with me about book rate and service policies. Believe me or not, I don't care, but it's how the industry works.

If you say so. If any one of them gave you the referenced bullshit when you took your car in I’d recommend taking your business elsewhere because not everybody is out to milk money on unnecessary repairs.

Yeah. The guys not charging me for work were really screwing me over.

If you knew so much you wouldn’t have somebody else doing your brake job. You do you, though.

Who said I was getting brakes done?

We’re talking about brakes here. I’d say stay with the program but I’m out of capacity to care. I was just trying to steer OP right.

Jesus you two, just use a micrometer and compare the measurement to the minimum spec.

And to be specific, I'm talking REARS, not fronts.
