Little over a year ago I took our van to Just Brakes as it was in a need of having the pads and shoes replaced. Of course the calipers needed to be replaced as well. Not knowing any better I ended up paying almost $400.
Yesterday my wife took the van to Just Brakes as she wanted to make sure the brakes were fine before our trip up to the mountains. She was all happy having had the brakes fixed before our trip, this time to the tune of $600. When I finally found the paper work for last year we found out that of course the calipers needed to be replaced yet again.
When she showed up with the van, the work that was done by that very same shop did not show up on their computer. To make things worse she provided them will all kinds of information about the brakes and their behavior, which gives Just Brakes the green-light run up your bill even more.
The bottom line is that we feel we were taken to the cleaners. The calipers having to be replaced in August and then again in Dec. Yeah, right!!!
I went to confront the manager about the issue of the calipers, and he seemed to at first taken aback with the fact that the same repair had been made a little over a year earlier. He recovered very quickly and very adament about the repairs were needed.
The bottom line is: Don't make the same mistake as us and take your car to Just Brakes. There is not such thing as a $99 brake job as the replacement of the calipers are not included in that price.
