Happy with car repair

So plenty of posts out there about shoddy work and being ripped off . This is the opposite . So my wife's Volvo XC90 was due for brakes . With 106,000 miles the rotors were getting thin it was just time . Plus the pads were very messy not wheel friendly at all .

I just didn't want to deal with it . So last week I went to our local small town tire shop and got a quote . Around $830.00 so I made an appointment for Friday the 17th . Dropped the car off Thursday before they closed .

So they installed four new rotors , ceramic brake pads and did a brake fluid flush . They also patched one tire that picked up a metal shard . When they called to say it was ready for pickup I asked to confirm the price as I was paying cash .

He said out the door with tax $750.00 . I was happy . When we picked it up I asked if there were any issues . He said it went exactly as planned . I asked if the pads needed to be " bedded in " and he said already done . Car drove perfect on the way home with braking as straight as an arrow . There are good shops out there . When you find one keep going back .
