A young technician there put the brakes [$366.00-lifetime brakes=pads/shoes only! Labor/parts extra!!! ] on my 1973 Internnational 4 dr crew cab truck. He put them together wrong!!!
The front hub and spindle, bearings adn drum had to be replaced at more than $350.00 to do so. The rearend is a free floating axle adn the wheels were put on wrong. Bearings and seals, lock washers, etc. Were improperly assembled. Grease nearly gone too.insufficient to be of use. The left side axle melted and wound off at about 3" from flange and rim/tire. If not for those; the axle would have came right out of the truck while on the highway!
When I came to a stop at a sign, I could not start up-again. The only way I could get the truck home was to take the drive shaft off and put it in front wheel drive and go home at 20-25 mph. A distance of 8 miles more.
Midas, Medford refused to rectify this and made me repair it myself. Said that I must have done something wrong. I had done the brakes at least 6 times before I went to them. No problems. So, I am Not Ever going to recommend anyone to Midas;
Medford, Oregon.
The repairs cost over $650.00 to so by myself.
