| - So my front brakes were in need of some attention. The brake pads needed replacement and I was fairly sure the rotors needed resurfacing at the very least. So I go about calling several places around the area and I get quotes that are ridiculous. Really, over $350? No.
I then call Mr. Brake and they quote me approximately $180 out the door. Yes! I call on a Friday afternoon and set up an appointment to take my car in the next morning on Saturday. Short notice availability? Yes! I take my car in the next morning (this place confused me breifly when I went searching for it as it seems that they moved garages just a few hundred feet over and the old signage is still around) and I go in to hand over my keys and go over the work getting done. Front brake pads replaced, front rotors resurfaced, rear brakes adjusted, for $184.53 out-the-door. Yes!
I then hang out in the office and look over the walls. High-five on having photos of Las Vegas from the early days, talking 1930s back when Vegas was still mostly a railroad town and Fremont St was the original Strip. And the coffee table book was the first centennial history of Vegas. A history lesson in an unexpected place, pretty freaking cool.
Less than an hour later (and honestly, they could've taken more time because the reading was great, and the office was quiet), I look up and see the mechanic test driving my car around the lot, so I know it's just about ready. I head up to the counter and we go over the work and the pricing, and yep, true to their word, the quote sticks with no surprise costs. I pay and inquire about rear brakes, and they let me know it would be a good idea to get it done in the next six months. No pressure to get it done today, no fear mongering, just honest information and low key presentation.
All in all, I would really recommend this place.
