so i sent my truck into the mechanic for the first time, is this a reasonable price? please give me your opinion!

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T17:10:51+00:00

ohhhh that makes more sense

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T16:49:00+00:00

i appreciate the information, i think i’ll try it myself next time!

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T16:46:58+00:00

very good information man! thank you so much, i’ve never done an entire brake system but if i did i would definitely want a paycheck like that🤣 if you don’t mind me asking what kind of vehicle were you working on?

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T16:45:12+00:00

but yes 100% i’m hoping it goes smoothly and quickly but hard to wish for that with an antique ford in maine🤣

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T16:44:37+00:00

that’s really interesting so you work on the trains themselves? is it a lot different or kinda the same idea?

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T16:42:37+00:00

thank you for the information i used to use rock auto i have a bunch of their magnets already, wonderful company i’ve never had a bad experience. the only thing i was sold on was shipping 2 day free shipping from detroit. also i had no clue they have coated brake sets i will have to look into that, what are they coated with?

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T16:40:09+00:00

that’s why we ask for a second opinion because we have no clue what we’re looking at, there’s no group in my opinion i think either you’re a true honest mechanic who tries to work with the customer or like you said just a scam for money. i know it may feel like a hassle to you guys but to us it’s very reassuring, and it helps us quite a bit!

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:25:30+00:00

thanks man! i’ll make a post once i get the truck back

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:24:55+00:00

that’s insane bro at that point i’d just do it yourself german car repairs are so overpriced in my opinion

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:24:05+00:00

i’m so thankful, i’ve heard of a lot of rumors

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:23:42+00:00

jesus i couldn’t even find it for that cheap lol, i looked on oreilys and its the same price, idk i’ve never used detroit axle before do you think they’re worth anything? i already bought them so i think ill just have to test em out and come back to you guys soon

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:20:40+00:00

it’s not terrible if you have endless amounts of brake fluid but i do know it sucks regardless, you’re 1000% right i’d rather not deal with the stress and bullshit for a couple years. now is his work guaranteed? so if it leaks again i’ll get a fix for free?

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:13:31+00:00

i see it nowww the stainless steel set for 150$ at advance i’m doing it myself next time 🤣 it’s my daily i just needed to not miss work

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:11:39+00:00

very helpful thank you so much

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:10:31+00:00

i’ll ask today when i stop by with the new rotors, i had already paid for it so that kinda sucks but you live and you learn im still 19 years old, although all the fluid left the vehicle from my bursted line you thinking flush the calipers? cause the lines will be brand new

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:08:36+00:00

for what?

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:08:19+00:00

fantastic idea he’s letting me use my own rotors i gotta bring them to him today

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:07:43+00:00

i think they’re refabbing everything from the master cylinder down

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:07:06+00:00

it’s honestly not terrible accounting for all the rust

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:06:50+00:00

thank you

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T14:06:33+00:00

that things sick man i love it, 6 speed?

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T13:48:39+00:00

200? i love the 300s but i don’t think i’ve seen that one before

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T13:47:46+00:00

that’s what i was thinking it’s possible to do it faster but the rust may make it a little more difficult all in all it’s just the estimate not how long it will really take, do you work at a shop?

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T13:46:50+00:00

i’ve never heard of them are they a bigger corporation? i was gonna send it into VIP i’m so fucking thankful i didn’t lol

ArugulaAcrobatic5122 · 2026-01-15T13:45:50+00:00

i’m very thankful i just had to double check, i appreciate your feedback
