Just went to his house and looked at his car. The right rear brake is metal to metal. (hence the "grinding noise) I told him I could replace the rotor, and do pads on both sides along with a caliper slide service for $100 plus parts. Parts were $50 for the less expensive pads.

And I could do it today.

He told me he didn't have the money. He told me he had the $50 for the parts, plus about $30 more. :S

He also said his dad told him to find out how much it was at Tires plus. Tires plus told him it STARTED at $159, but they would have to have it there.

So, I told him that if he wanted me to do it, I was just a phone call away.

As for the suspension issue, it is blown bushings in the rear causing it to sit funky.

Nice kid, but no way am I going to do a brake job on anyone's car, at their house, for $30. He seemed to be understanding, and was honestly restricted by his parents and money. (I don't think his dad would loan him the money to pay me)
