Brakes Plus
Bad work and overcharged

Cars & Transport

On02-09-04 had brakes plus install lifetime warranty for ceramic disk brake pads at the time was told a rotor needed replaced and both calipers rebuilt. They were to clean adjust rear brakes and flush brake system.
Less than a week, noticed wheel rims were very hot and went back to brakes plus and told that heat was normal. On 11-18-04 went back to brakes plus was due to brake flutter as I do alot of highway driving and was concerned about safety.

Had brakes checked out and was told I had cracks in brake shoe on drivers side, also said calipers that they rebuilt would have to be replaced with new ones and I would have to pay parts and labor and also told rear shocks (leak) and, transmission neeed to be flushed, serpentine belt was (cracked.) Had lifetime shocks 4-sensatrac shocks installed by brakes plus on 08-21-01

My car is a 1999 Gmc Yukon. Total bill on 02-09-04 was $395.07 Now I was told that they would do the front calipers for $94.50 Loaded calipers (uneven wear) $191.00 Caliper service credit - $83.00 Left front rotor (specs)$80.00 another brake fluid flush (dark)$37.00 rear brakes (close) $40.00 also done by them on 10-04-02. Hardware (mileage?)$19.00 rear shocks (leak)$25.00 Serpentine belt (cracked) $114.00 this I found is way overcharge as I replaced this and that belt was approx$10.00 to $15.00. Transmission flush (dark) $99.00 done at Chevrolet dealer.
All total to have job done again with what they found wrong totals$616.50 what I previously paid on 02-09-04 amount $395.07.

Totaling of 2 bills $1011.57.

I ended up doing the brake job which I was cappable of doing totaled $66.00 2 year warranty on disk brake pads plus new rotor If you can do it yourself don't get ripped off. Have all the bills to prove the work they did.

This guy tells me that my rear brakes have problem with the callipers. That is complete non sense. My rear brakes uses brake shoes that do not require callipers. I had a complete rear brakes done at 5
