Not just the east coast. Sad, but there it is. I have a neighbor working in the rain today replacing brakes on his wife's van, last two times he had it done the job lasted about six months, pulled the rotors and they had never been turned or surfaced, pads were the cheapest to be found. Not what he paid for. I have a brother in law in the wilds of West Texas, a mechanic, does every job like he was working on his wife's car. Can't get any rest, they hunt him down and are willing to wait til he can get to their truck. Doesn't advertise, and has to turn work away. I drive 564 miles to get my truck serviced, I have over 300,000 miles on old red truck and it runs like it was new. It will be a sad day went he hangs up his wrenches. More and more it seems the obvious is overlooked - do the best job you can and you will never have to hunt for work....
