| Brakes, Rotors
&
Calipers. Professional Installation & Servicing.

Honey, why are the brakes squealing? When brakes vibrate they sing like a tuning fork. You might say that happy brakes are not singing brakes. |
|
Why is there a kink in the line that feeds the caliper Fix-It-Dad? I guess in FIX IT DAD's haste, he didn't support the brake caliper properly during one of his brake specials, now this hydraulic pressure line needs to be replaced. Oh Yeah! This pressure line could have burst which isn't a safety issue at all. Not! |
| Why does the car go Woo Woo Woo when I apply the brakes going down a big hill? FIX IT DAD's response, "That's perfectly normal. It's just a thing". Guess who didn't replace the front brake rotors when he serviced the brakes. When the rotors heat up they distort and Woo Woo won't go away until they are replaced. |
|
"I guess a big Phillips head screw driver is not the right tool to remove the retaining screws on a Honda Civic brake rotors"? Guess who had to bring it into Lehman's shop to fix that boo boo? |
|
Guess who couldn't tell the difference between a left side versus right side calipers at the auto parts store? Hey, it's only a couple more trips to the auto parts store. Fix-It-Dad's time isn't that valuable anyway. |
| Why are my brakes smoking? Ladies, when this happens you shouldn't be relying on Fix-It-Dad. |
I
guess you really can't trust buying parts from an auto parts store. In
other words, the person behind the counter just might not know what
they are doing? FIX IT DAD went into his local auto parts store.
In purchasing new front brakes pads & rotors he provided the cars make
& model, engine size, etc. Unfortunately for FIX IT DAD, there
were two rotor sizes diameters available for that make & model.
Did fix it dad check to see if those new rotors matched the diameter of the old
ones? What do you think? One set of rotors was for
anti-lock brakes & the other for non-anti lock brakes. Upon
inspection of Fix-It-Dads' latest debacle it was explained that the brake pads
were supposed to have a flat surface. Instead each pad had a rather large
pronounced ridge on it as the pads outside diameter was much
greater than the installed rotor ... which was not the correct size (too small). Wrong! Dangerous! What happened was the parts supplier supplied the
wrong size rotor instead of the correct size rotor that should of been used
for anti-lock brakes. The rotor displayed should have had a nice
uniform shiny surface but only the outside edges were engaged meaning only part of the applied
pressure was applied by the caliper to do all that braking. Do you think
that you might need a professional working on your brakes?
I'd like to tell you that I'm making this up but this stuff actually happened. Of course, no one was harmed but to protect the innocent ... We'll just call him "Fix-It-Dad"!

It's
Keith again. Just the other day, I'm on the phone with FIX IT DAD seen
here, when I said to him, "Brakes Jobs are not a hobby". There's a
reason that you should hire a professional to fix your brakes". His
response, "You know, I just increased my wife's life insurance
policy. What did I do wrong now?"
