Brakes aren't common sense and it's not a good thing to fuck up, either. Take your car somewhere besides Midas, they are the Jiffy Lube of brake places. Maybe a TR shop?

I can only imagine how this would go.
"excuse me proven power i have a project for you"
"well how can we will help you we do fab work to motor builds to dyno tunes"
"can you take a look at my breaks for me?"

Another thing about those "free ac checks" is that to check the system, they have to pump it up with freon. One place tried to tell me $170 to fill it up! I hate mechanic shops...

clearly I dont see your point, Its not my money and she didnt listen in the first place... Gotta learn somehow, Kinda hard to be tough and drive off in your car when its 4ft in the air and has no tires on it..

I would have called the cops. They made no repairs on the vehicle and wasted your time.

I went to one of them and got a estimate of $600-$650, I said fuck it and took the car home. Owner wanted to basically replace the whole system. My friends dad did it for less than $60 had to replace one hose on it.
