Just Brakes, Assistant Manager Eric They tried to get me to pay almost $700 for new brake pads! Glendale Arizona
My brake pads were getting thin and the little metal foot on them was causing a loud squeeking sound. I was worried that my routers were shot, too. I took my car to Just Brakes for the bargain they advertised that would replace old pads and/or shoes for less than $100.
After looking over my car they determined that is was absolutely unsafe to drive... the cylinders were leaking, there was friction, etc. Basically they said if I didn't get everything done that they suggested, that my brakes could go out at any moment. When I asked them how much they though it would cost me, they told me $688 and change. I was obviously in disbelief because my car was not leaking anything I had noticed, everything was running fine, and even though the brakes were squeeking, they could stop on a dime.
After arguing with the Just Brakes mechanics to let me take my car home, I went to get a second opinion. The place I went to next said everything Just Brakes had told me was garbage. He replaced my front brake pads and tightened my shoes and charged me only $106.26.
Just Brakes seem like a disgrace to mechanics. That is why other mechanics get bad reputations... from places like that who try and take advantage of worried customers.

He tightened your rear shoes? Not possible. Do you even know what you paid for?
