Message:
My brakes are working fine, except they are making a grinding/rubbing noise when slowing down and applying them. I have an appt. scheduled for a free inspection. My question is - How do I avoid being ripped off? I know they are likely to tell me that in order to replace the pads,etc. they need to replace other things as well. Well, my truck is 18 years old and I don't want to put a lot of $ in it. Any suggestions on what to tell them, or what to watch out for to avoid a ripoff.
And yes, I know I could probably do it myself, but I don't have the tools or the time.
Thanks for any helpful advice you can give,
Dave

i'd say that your probably gonna need new shoes. if you've driven that way for a long time you may need new drums too.
so in short :
1) new shoes
2) spring kit
3) wheel cylinder (if damaged)
4) drums (if warped or seriously scared)
