I've taken my car to Larry, aka Aamco, the first time because my brakes had been squeaking for months. Asked Larry to change my brake pads and he said. "No." He said there was still 80% wear left on them. He said just bring them back in a year or so when they need changing while explaining the squeaking was due to a lower quality material aftermarket pad that my guy in San Diego had installed. Stand up guy. Stand up service.
Now it's been a year, so I'm taking my car in to actually get it worked on with confidence.
