i bet there is a quota that they have to meet, like $2000 in repairs every time a car is brought in, probably make most of it up
NOT TRUE

But if you were an unknowing Audi customer like the 80% and your brakes were gone, you just had the car at the dealer and they didnt tell you......then 2 days later

You get into an accident because you had no brakes you would most likley try to sue the pants off the place

Yes I know its very extreme but that is why every good tech will look over the car and bring it up to the customer

When they quoted my brake job that they just decided to take a look at, it was going to cost 950 bucks to replace two rotors and put on new pads! LOL. I don't want to hear the crap about how hard they are to work on. They do it every day all day and that's what they are paid to do. They just take advantage of the people who chose not to go to mechanic school and don't know how to overhaul an engine. Why would my brakes not be squeaking but when I took the car in for a new cd changer, they would mysteriously start squeaking. Oh yeah, that was a VW. LOL

Everytime I took my car to an independant shop, I didn't get any BS... It was in, and out, no hastling or scamming at all. Maybe I got lucky.

Mine was great... Got a Craftsmen 263 Piece Tool Set, so I'm pretty stoked on that. But give me a call when you come back in town, we've got to get that photoshoot before school starts back.
