Ripped me off on my brakes, left the brake light on AND left the radiator cap off

I was driving to work, and the brakes failed. I was new to Knoxville, TN, and saw there was a Midas across the street from where I worked.

I brought the 96 Dodge Ram in for service and left it. Later I was informed that BOTH rear brakes cyllnders had blown out and, spontaneously, both front brake hoses were torn. Meanwhile, BOTH rear drums (which only had about 10,000 miles on them) were out of round AND worn too thin.

Cost of repair: $880. Of course, the alternative is to drive my vehicle with no brakes from garage to garage, so I decided to swallow the rip off and at least have working brakes.

When I pick up the vehicle, the emergency light is on. I point this out to the mechanic, who pops open the hood and starts BEATING THE MASTER CYLLINDER WITH A HAMMER, claiming that this would turn it off. When that didn't work, he said, "Well, I can't fix it, " and walked away.

I had checked the box which said, "Return all parts." The place refused. HE showed me one drum, claimed he couldn't be sure it was mine, and then showed me that there was brake fluid on it.

The next day, driving the vehicle, I notice a cloud of steam behind me. I pull the vehicle over and, on top of everything else, they left the radiator cap off of the radiator. I called the shop and was informed that, if I could get back there, they would be glad to provide me with a radiator cap. They don't do roadside assistance.
