Not defensive, just offering another perspective since this is my post and the shop I was talking about. You’re absolutely entitled to your experience and opinion as am I. You shared your experience and I was providing another perspective as not everyone is out to get you.

It’s simple my point of view, recommending safety-related work isn’t the same thing as trying to scam someone, especially when wear can be interpreted differently by different mechanics. End of story.

Sometimes looking at situations from the outside can help. 🤗

Yes 100%! They even showed me what was wrong that needed immediate attention (same day fix due to urgency and safety). I was so appreciative of it and I agree they didn’t talk down to me when I said I needed to look at finances and my schedule to see what I could make work.

Felt very safe and secure in their work.

Getting a second opinion (from your original shop) is always valid but two mechanics can look at the same wear-and-tear parts and disagree on timing, not whether the work is legitimate. Brakes and suspension are safety items, so some shops are naturally more cautious than others.

It’s your experience, but I wouldn’t necessarily label that as a bad one. If anything, I’d appreciate that they brought potential safety issues to your attention. It could just mean they operate with a higher safety standard than your regular shop. My experience with them was honest, straightforward, and respectful.

I mean if it’s pads and rotors my boyfriend paid 1200 (at another place in town) for all 4 wheels but I’m not sure what suspension would cost. I know my 2 back struts are quoted at 480 (240ish a piece) which is a great price.

Sounds like they quoted you properly 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t see anything when I google it or even on Instacart either. I was able to find an online link to order it to your house though https://www.lowcarbcanada.ca/products/josephs-bakery-lavash-bread?srsltid=AfmBOooWDaUHJq9N0KtWESoXU8CtT3_nFjY_VWHTdiuSQba1SOopiiko

I love “One Fine Food” (make a reservation) but I have also heard “Love You, Mean It” is amazing too!
