As some may already know we are moving to a new larger shop. We had originally planned to be there and operating on December 1st, 2021. But due to problems with the people that had property at the new location we are delayed. We have had a walk through this passed Monday and everything is now ready for us to start moving. We will now be up and going at the new location for the New Year. So come see us starting January 3rd, 2022 at the new location. 3124 Reagan Dr., Fort Worth, TX. 76116. It just a short drive from our current location.

We will be moving during the month of November and plan on being open in our new location on December 1st. The new location is larger and provides for us to give even better service.

Our phone number will remain the same. As soon as the time gets closer I will post the new address, but it is just a short drive from the existing shop.

Remember the old saying "You get what you pay for"

I had a gentleman email me with his vehicle information (year, make and model) and said he wanted his brake pads replaced. The only other information was his zip code. Now keep in mind that he did not tell me anything else so I give him a quote of $756.00 now that included all four wheels with new pads and rotors and mobile service.

I explained that the price was for mobile service, pads, and new rotors as we can not turn existing rotors on mobile service we would have to replace the rotors. We have not seen his vehicle and do not know the condition of his existing rotors. I explained that when you replace the pads the rotors need to be turned to be resurfaced to get a smooth surface for the pads to make contact with. The rotors may be turned if they have enough meat (surface metal thickness) if not they would need to be replaced. And he could bring the vehicle to us and we would give a free brake inspection and be able to give him a better estimate.

The customer could have taken $213.00 off the estimate by bringing the vehicle to us which would have brought the estimate down to $543.00 for all new pads and rotors on all four wheels. If he just wanted the front or the rear done that would have brought the cost down even more. If the rotors could be turned instead of replacing them the cost would go down even more.

The customer later message me that he got the brakes done for $95.00 at one of those places that have some form of fast in the name. I can say that he paid about $30.00 to much because I know from the name of the place he gave me and the price he got what’s called a pad slap. A pad slap is where you put new pads on a vehicle without fixing the surface of the rotors. He will now have to get them fixed in a couple of months or less because a pad slap is only a temporary fix. He may contact me in the future when his brakes start squealing.

The moral of this post. If you want a repair done right do your research before you get repairs done. If you want it as cheap as possible then by all means go to these places, but remember I will see you in the future.

But thank God for these places because they keep me in business from fixing problems customers have after going to them.

For all of you who have not kept up with your vehicle registration. You have less than 90 days before the waver expires and tickets can be issued for expired registration. If your registration has expired you will need to get your vehicle inspected before they will allow your registration to be renewed. Do wait till the last minute or you may find yourself in long lines. If you need a vehicle inspection you can come to me. I have a no to minimal wait on getting your vehicle inspected. I also carry most parts that may cause your safety inspection to fail (light bulbs, Wiper blades, etc..) and can take care of that right away. If your check engine light is on we can also diagnose and repair the problem and get your vehicle inspected.
