Car again

Just went out to help a friend get his car, and lo and behold, my brakes are making a Bad Noise again. It's not the deep grinding that caused me to go get two rotors replaced, but it's not the standard squeeek, either; it's something that sounds to me like it's gonna be grinding pretty soon now. And it's intermittent. Wonder if I got bad parts? Wonder if the OTHER two rotors are dying? Wonder if something ELSE in the brake system is dying?

Boo hiss bah. I had hoped I was done with this for a while. Was planning to coast until the 120Kmile service (<9Kmi from now).

At least I know the place I'm taking it to will give me absolutely no trouble if it turns out that their repair was defective.

Sorry to hear about your car. Geez, what is it with cars lately? I knew hitting a dead deer would screw my car up, but my brakes are down to 20% and have to get replaced as well.

<morbid humor> I hope wherever you do get repairs done that it isn't too defective if it is...otherwise you won't make it to the shop again <morbid humor>

Sorry. I've just had some low quality experiences with auto shops and consider myself lucky to still be here based on one or two of them.

Yeah, I'd almost suspect there's something going around. Sigh!

I'll HAUNT this shop if they @#$! up my brakes!! heh.

Iiiick. This sort of thing makes me want to go into business and create a REPUTABLE shop. Why, what happened?
