Hi,
My daughter just moved from here in Michigan to Denver this Thanksgiving and now seems to be having one of those days.
She doesn't know many people out there, especially mechanically inclined ones, and she's having a car brake problem.
Noticing a "sound" when she applies her brakes she went into one of those brake places and got an estimate for over $900 to "fix" her up. The car's a 1999 Olds Alero with 4 wheel disks. Seems the repair folks told her she needs pads, caliper(s), rotors, flushing, and also has a stuck piston and very rusty rear wheel brake parts. Sounds to me like they're setting up for a flushing alright, my daughters.
If the car was around here I know I could make it reliable without $550+ dollars in parts. Any of you know anyone in the Denver area that knows someone that might know someone that can keep her from getting so ripped?
Thanks!
