Morning, muchachos.
Morning, Page2Raz.
Morning, Dave.

Did you make the mechanic show you the problems with the braking system on the Kia?

It's just an awfully high bill for a master cylinder, a couple of brake hoses, and rear pads.  If I did that work in my driveway it's maybe $250 worth of parts and 2-3 hours of labor - and I'm not a pro mechanic. It's not going to take them more than about 90 minutes.

They're not actually replacing the "lines," which are stainless steel and really, really hard to damage. It's just the rubber hoses that make the final trip from the lines to the calipers. And unless the car is more than ten years old, I'm real suspicious about them saying those hoses have gone bad. I'd want to get a look at those hoses.

I dunno, things are different back east, I guess, but there's a lot of labor charges there.

Maybe you left something out of your description? Maybe they had to do the anti-lock sensors?
Car isn't ready yet, so I haven't had a chance to look over the bill. It's possible he left something out of the description or that I've misquoted him due to a lack of knowledge. But I've had work done there before and last time I was there, I called around about the prices and theirs was the best, so I trust that I'm not being screwed. At least, not more than a person at a car repair facility would normally be.
Also, the car has been paid off for a year, so we were due to put some money into it. Lol
Both of my cars are due for service.

I hope the guy that got arrested wasn't John Stewart.

Edit: Not to be confused with Jon Stewart who is seemingly not related.
