Regardless, y'all make a good point about liability with mechanics. It makes sense, and I suppose complaining about it doesn't change that fact, so...DIY for me or wait 'til I can afford the full treatment.  |
'The full service' probably includes new parts that many DIY'ers re-use: brake pad wear sensors, anti-vibration inserts and rotors. This is where knowledge and shopping around can get you what you NEED despite tight funds. In Canada, litigation is FAR less common and so the hysteria to ward it off is less great. The world is changing and soon shops won't even HAVE a lathe, designed and built, specifically for resurfacing rotors, as they've had for decades. Perfectionism costs and is partially responsible for the throw-away world were now stuck in. I say; IF IT AIN'T BROKE, WHY FIX IT?! underneath PERFECTIONISM IS THE FEAR OF FALLIBILITY--- lets keep it in perspective and our finances will follow!
