Wow, crazy. Speaking of not filling the oil, my steering wheel was a bit stiff when i was driving. I forgot to check to make sure there was fluid in there.
But its terrible how people that get paid to work on cars can do this. I'm sorry this happened to you. If i knew how to do everything I would do it myself also. My dad knows some but wont teach me any. All i can do is change my battery, and change a tire, only cause I saw my supervisor do it.

You were talking about taking the car in to be serviced (I think it was Lindhan), and the light bulb went off over my head. I had an 8a appt to take my truck in to be serviced. So I hurried around opening doors and turning on lights then took my self and my truck off to the shop. I read my Kindle whilst I waited for it (lube, oil and filters). When he gave me back my keys he told my I have about 10% left on my front brakes. Something to look forward to!

Brake pads are $18 and easy to swap.
Demand that they also true the rotors.
They'll charge for it, but they seldom bother to do it.

I have to wait until my daughter has a day off from work so she can chauffeur me, because the shop says it will take most of the day to give me new brakes plus change the oil in the rear end (something my waranty book suggests at 45,000 miles).

Maybe see you tomorrow evening our time!

Goodnight all

Most garages...even dealerships like to have one or two ASE certified mechanics. If they're lucky, a master mechanic. But that doesn't mean that some 17 year old goof that rode a bicycle to the shop didn't work on your car.
The ASE mechanic is probably at home. The shop just wants the plaque on the wall saying " CERTIFIED ASE MECHANIC".

Does this also apply to disc brakes?
