Henry, you have no idea what you're saying. THIS COMPANY RIPS PEOPLE OFF - they get suckers in for the $99.95 brake job and increase the price by saying other (fine) things are wrong with the sucker's brakes!! They have even talked about this on national TV> Just go to http://groups.google.com and search for "Just Brakes" to see all the negative comments about their services.

My name is Henry and I am proud to say that I work at JUST BRAKES. I think the problem with you people is that you are just too used to getting your cars fixed right the first time. Let's stop and think about this for a minute. Let's just say that you bring your car in for an oil change (something simple). Well, that's only takes 30 minutes to do and only costs only $30.00. Now, take that same $30.00 and pay the manager his $10.00 an hour for running the place, give the electric company $5.00 for the electricity used during that time, give the shop forman his $8.50, buy new oil and filter to replace what just went onto your car that's $3.50. What does that leave $3.00 to pay me, the lowly mechanic. I don't know about you but $3.00 an hour to burn the s**t out of myself with hot engine oil, and work around a bunch of complaining customers sucks! So, to compensate myself, I will take a bolt or 2 and drop it into your oil pan. Now when you drive off you will hear a clanking noise and drive back to this shop for yours truly to fix the "Problem". Now, here is where I get to be creative: I get down into the grease pit and act like I'm inspecting your car and act like I'm just so concerned to the point that I hate when customers have problems with they cars. Well, after I smoke a cigarette while I am down there (that leaves the illlusion that I'm just down busting my a*s to fix your car). Well, after that I climb out of the grease pit wiping my hands onto a grease rag smiling and then I will say something like "Good thing you came back when you did". Then I go into this whole spill about how at the dealership they will charge you $500.00 to replace your TJ-55 sensor, but if you let me I'll do it for $50.00, but you better let me do this right now because it's against the law to drive a car if your sensor isn't working properly. BAM !!!!!!!!!!!! I just went from making a lousy $3.00 an hour to $53.00 an hour. Pretty sweet huh. Well, I hope you loved my story, because it sure loves you. Till next time, be kind and I hope the next entertainer has a great audience like I had.
