Firestone Complete Auto Care

i drive about 75k miles a year. i use older beater cars to save money and to have huge expense write-​offs. Accordingly i am at Firestone complete care centers about once a month. haha
Most Firestones do top-​notch work, this location is by far one of the best Firestones that i have ever visited.
They saved me a lot of money.
Very cool staff which kept me informed throughout the whole process.
Thanks Zack

I own a Chevy Blazer 2000. A few weeks ago, I paid $ 96 for Firestone to figure out what was wrong with my ABS brakes since they were kicking on at low speeds. They determined it was the ABS sensors and wanted to change the hubs on both sides. Each hub would have costed $ 280 (50 on Amazon) with a total cost of over $ 1000. The two main questions I asked was why are the hubs so expensive and why do you need to change them if it was just the abs sensors? The mechanic explained each hub comes with a lifetime warranty (which is not really true because this does not include regular tear and ware). He also explained that abs sensors were located inside the hubs which is why they needed to replace them (this is also false because the abs sensor is just a short cable connected from the computer to the hub). Taking that information, my dad and I replaced the abs sensor ($ 30 on Amazon) to the front driver side and my brakes worked perfectly fine after that. I don’t want to accuse them of ripping me off here, but these mechanics are very unintelligent by the least. This fix should have costed no more than $ 200.
