I went to Just Brakes in Lithia Springs, GA only to get the special that is announced on the radio and was told that I needed an ENTIRE BRAKE JOB, which would cost $600 something dollars! I argued that my brake system was not that bad and I only needed brakes. Since the guy in the front could not get me to consent, he took me out to the guy in the shop. The tall linky guy that works on the cars showed me a whole bunch of stuff wrong and was speaking in a mechanical language that I could not understand - which I am convinced was done on purpose. He should me leaking oil and rips on my brake system - which I am now convinced that they caused.
Since my car was 7 years old and had never had rotors or anything other than brakes, I went ahead and consented, but after reading about all the people that have gotten ripped off, I know that I did too!
The guys were very convincing and worked together. The guy that worked at the register was a black stocky looking guy and the one in the shop was a tall linky white guy. The black guy told me that he would never rip me off because he has sisters and a mother and would never want anyone to do that to them! They are completely ridiculous!
After I finally consented to the brake job and they took it for a test drive. The tall linky guy that he heard some ticking and said that I needed CV Joints. I told him there was no way in HELL that I was going to give them anymore money and that I knew for a fact that I did NOT need CV Joints!
The only thing that makes me feel better about the situation is that I do not plan on getting rid of my car. I plan on keeping it for many years and my car is fairly old and had not had any previous brake work done other than brake pads.
NEVER NEVER NEVER go to JUST BRAKES because when you go, they are always going to try and convince you that you need MORE THAN JUST BRAKES!!!
