But wouldnt Joe Blow who "specialises" in Skylines and other imports would wonna rip you just as much as Pedders in this case? At the end of the day, everyone wants to make money. If you really want to save a buck, become friends with a mechanic and get him to check your car over, this is the only way.
My family friend mechanic told me today that you dont need to machine all disk rotors when changing brake pads... often its not needed at all but 9/10 places will tell you to do it, why? more money for them.
I cant imagine how much chicks get ripped everytime they service their cars...
