Brett-
Believe it or not, my old 5ktq was in a friend's hands and needed
pads and rotors. He was trying to save money, so he brought the car
to a local garage instead of my mechanic, who wasn't far away at all
(10 min. drive). Instead of maybe $300 tops in parts and labor, he
ended up spending nearly $1000 just for that.
After that fun episode, the car was sold to another friend, who needed
to buy rear calipers for the car (seized, as usual) as well as emergency
brake cables (no surprise there) for a much more reasonable amount.
Car is alive and well now that it is in better hands.
