I had the misfortune of hitting a pothole at 3:30am, after returning home from a vacation. Welcome home, right? I was driving my 2016 Cadillac CTS-V (Not bragging, don't like the car, but you need to know, or you can't take this rating seriously). As I was saying, hit the pothole at 45-50 miles an hour and knew the tires were finished. I watched the TPM (Tire Pressure Monitor) drop, as I pulled into a fire station. Cadillac is so awesome, they actually give you a phone number to call, instead of a spare tire (not that a spare would help with two flat tires.) My wife and I waited 20-30 minutes for Sun City towing (wonderful company and kind driver) we dropped the car off at Arrowhead Cadillac and found out that I bent the rims, tore a whole in something and was told my brakes were bad. I was extremely upset, but relieved that I had bought wheel and tire coverage for the car when I leased it. The tires and wheels were 3k and the hole underneath cost a thousand dollars out of pocket approx. I didn't believe the brakes could be bad after only 12k miles on the car, so I refused to have them replaced for $1400. I was told by the dealership that if I waited too long, I'd be buying new rotors as well. I picked up the car on Friday and Wednesday the following week, I took it to this brakes plus, that had told me "It's impossible to have worn out brakes at only 12k miles, if your driving normally, which I do. They took my car into the back and brought me in to show me that the sensor was getting really close to rubbing and that I needed new brakes, out ya, as well as rotors, because this type of "Sports Car," requires you to change your rotors when you change your brakes?!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw the rotors and brakes, what a bunch of crap. The fact that I was wearing a tie and cuff links probably didn't help. I'm pissed off that people think it's ok to steal from you, if you look like you have money. I went into the front of their pseudo office and started looking up facts about the brakes on my car via phone, guess what? You guessed right, no need to change the rotors unless they're warn out too. As I had stated, the sensor wasn't yet touching any of the rotors that make noise! The rotors were absolutely fine. Then it happened, the A-Hole liar at brakes plus said "You're really going to hate this, but its absolutely necessary, if you don't want your brakes to squeal!" He handed me the quote and asked me if I wanted them to take care of it right away? I grabbed the estimate and walked out so fast that I forgot my bag there. The girl inside(the same girl that told me it was impossible to have worn out break pads at 12k miles) came running after me. I asked her, "Do I look like a stupid A-Hole to you?" She replied "Sir, theses things just happen, the car is expensive, what did you expect?" I said "I expected you would replace the brake pads for $800-$900 as you stated, if needed.) She then told me that I could have just the brake pads replaced , if that's all I wanted??? I said "SERIOUSLY!" I then left and called around. Firestone told me it would be slightly less than $800 and that it's embarrassing a store that specializes in breaks, would try to be so dishonest, as it was never necessary to replace the rotors, unless I'd worn through the brake pads and damaged the rotors. Here's the deal, another gentleman with a newer small pickup wearing casual clothes was also questioning why the bill, not the estimate had come back higher!? This place screws people, they should call the place "Just Drivers," as they screw everyone who comes in and the duality of "Just Drivers," is perfect! I'm going to get ahold of corporate, after I take pictures in the morning of my rotors and brake pads. Fool me once and I will do anything out of principle to make it right for not just me, but for everyone.
