I guess I'm a slow learner. I had to get ripped off twice before I figured out this apparent scam. In away it is just another version of the "bait and switch". $99.88 sounds good, but I wonder how many people leave without at least a $450.00 bill.

The first time I used just brakes they worked on my 96 Jeep Cherokee Classic. I took them at their word when they sold me new master cylinder for $225 and rebuilt power booster for $320.00. The total cost was $584.46 including shop supplies and brake fluid. The next time I took in my company vehicle, a 96 Chevy G-20 van.$832.00 later(they replaced or worked on anything that they could)I started to wonder.

They kept saying if I don't get this fixed, they will not be liable for what can happen and how serious these needed repairs are. The other day I took my Jeep back for some minor problems for which they tryed to sell me Front coil reconditioning,front pistons, wheel cylinders,and springs for a total of $487.99 plus tax.

They had also told me that the rear brakes had crystalized and the front brakes were doing all the work. I was suspicious so I got a second opinion. To my relief, I was informed that everything was fine with my brakes and no service was required at this time. Just Brakes may do a good job on repairs, but unnessessary repairs gives a bad name to anyone in the service business.
