If Firest...I have serious doubts about both places. If Firestone takes all day to accomplish nearly nothing they have a real personnel problem. If Sears is obviously covering up a misdiagnosis and even charging you for it I would ask for a refund and then start asking every one you know who they would recommend as an honest mechanic. I know that is almost an oxymoron, but I recently was referred to just such a person in Michigan which I have since given a great deal of business to and recommended to anyone around here. He also charges about half of what most other mechanics are charging.<BR/>It is very hard to find an honest, open, trustworthy mechanic shop, but the best way is to ask a lot of people. They are more likely to give you unbiased opinions and sooner or later you might run into someone who will put you onto what you are looking for.Clay Feethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811502760379647181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10995142.post-6151051973566393582007-08-31T15:58:00.000-04:002007-08-31T15:58:00.000-04:00What did you end up doing?

I can not for the life of me figure out why Sears would not have replaced the brake pads if they were bad (did they even look at them?!?!) It would have been more money for them.<BR/> I probably would have compared who was going to “make it up to me” by charging me the least amount of money, or sent my husband in who would have ripped them a new one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
