B C Auto Care

Took my Chevy Blazer to «B C Auto Care» last August for brakes all the way around. After they checked it, the owner called and said I didn’t need brakes in the front — just the back. He said I only needed work on the rear brakes — pads as well as rotors. I wish I had gone with my intuition and took it somewhere else because I knew I had 60,000 miles on the brakes but I let him go ahead. After $ 360 for just rear pads and rotors, I got my Blazer back and the rear brakes squeeked constantly. I took it back, and the owner would not even look at it. It also happens that while he was out, his mechanic filled me in that he put the cheap metal brake pads on it instead of ceramic. The part that really bothers me is the owner wouldn’t even look at it. So now it’s May, almost 10 months later, and I took it to Waterford Garage last Saturday. They told me no reputable mechanic would ever put the cheaper metal brakes on a heavy vehicle like a Blazer, they recommended replacing the lousy metal pads B C put on. Also, I needed rotors in the front. Hmmm… I’ve only driven it 5,000 miles since the guy at B C told me I didn’t even need brake pads on the front. Incidentally, at Waterford Garage, I paid $ 400 for ceramic pads all the way around, new rotors in the front, a complete fuel system service, and electronic diagnostic of a tail light problem. I’m doing the math, and with the customer service I got at Waterford Garage, I will never take my Blazer back to BC.
