A mere $1,390 later, my beloved Honda has shiny new rotors, calipers, brake pads, and brake lines.
When your kids are the passengers, don’t eff with their safety.
Thanks to the very kind folks who threw a few beans in my can. Truly thankful. I appreciate you.

And allow me to just rave about this garage a bit…
Car was supposed to be done by end of day. Around noon, owner calls me. Brake lines aren’t fitting quite right. Doesn’t feel comfortable giving me the car back with them. Wants to pull them and get replacements. Might be tmrw.

Apologizes profusely. Called as early as he could in case I need to make other plans.
Calls two hours later. Got OEM replacements. Will be done by EOD. Will leave it for pickup after hours.
Did more work. Upgraded the parts. Finished on time. Charges me $200 under estimate.

There is a reason this mechanic has close to 400 reviews and nearly every single one is 5-star.
An honest mechanic who cares about their customers is worth their weight in gold.
If I had an urgent car repair, I’d literally rent a car and wait to get an appt with this guy.

So, a $1,390 bill sucks. Wasn’t expecting it. It hurts.
However, as I head off to post my One Good Thing post, this is mine:
A safe car I feel comfortable driving with my son; a trustworthy mechanic who does quality work; and the support of kind folks here.
Ride, Honda. Ride.
