I do a ton of work out of my home shop. I am doing a brake job on a 2000 Ford expedition. I drop off the rotors to be cut at Pep Boys (28 bucks) and pick up pads. They gave me the incorrect pads. I go back and get the correct ones and pick up the rotors. Put it together and the petal is pulsing and the right brake area is thumping. Have the rotors cut again, still nothing changes. Talk to the manager twice, he in a coma. Go back and buy two new Chinese rotors. Works perfect.
Measure out the rotor with my gauges and find a high spot, what else could it be right ! Show the manager and I'm the problem ! Yes Yes I know its pep boys. HE offers to try again even as I show him my paperwork for the new rotors. I'm the problem ! I went into his office and asked him what it would take for him to ban me from ever coming back to his store, would you please ban me forever. One manager was eye-balling the rotor. I told him not to try that around real techs, because its just not something ya can see no matter who you are... OK I'm done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
