They live amongst us, and they drive
« on: February 28, 2012, 07:44:56 PM »
A friend of ours who hasn't been working told me her brakes were making noise a couple months ago. I told her do do them right away. She said she had to wait for her Tax check. Well it came and she brought the car over. She said "Just do the fronts" Well the rotor was gone, I expected that.



I said I think we should do the rears too. WELL, "They're not grinding anymore."
