It has always been difficult for me to find an honest mechanic. Dana Cunningham introduced me to Paul's Auto repair in Raytown. Paul was great. Billy's in Vero is great.
I have heard way too many stories of people being told that their car needed work when it did not. My neighbor was told that he needed new brakes - immediately. He bought the pads and brought them down to my house. Bruce Letner taught me how to do brakes, so I replaced my neighbors pads yesterday morning.
Still over 1/4 of an inch of brake pad left! |
If you know about brakes, you can see that my neighbor was lied to. There are lots and lots of miles left on these old pads.
Moral of the story... get a second opinion. Take someone with you that knows cars. Keep your receipts so you know when the last time various types of work were performed.
Be careful. Do not be taken advantage of.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
