Rear wheel squealing

Should have it back in a couple of days. Still really surprised the former owner’s mechanics couldn’t find the problem. I didn’t understand how the brake assembly worked. Now that I know the emergency brake is a simple drum brake inside the hub of the disc it’s one of the first things I would have checked since driving and using the disc brakes didn’t effect the noise. Good honest mechanics are hard to find

$400? For what?

Honest mechanics aren’t hard to find, but you need to qualify. The best approach is knowing your car. Read. Bentley manual. 101 projects book, pelican tech series online. I buy my own parts, my shops know me, I know everyone in the back and I do as much as I can myself.
Building relationships with the Indy shops is an important part of ownership.
