We are a couple of guys, running a small taxi business- with almost 40 years of repair experience between us. And most of those repairs were done in the taxi and limousine business in the very high demand 24/7 setting of New York City.
We know how to fix vehicles right, and we know how to do it cheap.
No other dealer or shop would ever advertise this claim. They will offer cheap oil changes to lure you in. We say “cool”.
Let THEM lose money doing your oil change- and bring their “grocery list” of repair items to us. We offer several ways to help you cut these costs-
BRING YOUR OWN PARTS.
We offer this to the absolutely cost conscious, and the educated and experienced drivers. Many will buy the cheapest parts they can find- and others know better and will buy top quality parts at THE BEST PRICES.
Let’s be honest- we make our money fixing stuff. We cannot spend hours online to save $20 on your brake rotor. yes, this means $20 x 4= $80. You could shop around and wait 2 weeks and get the brake rotors from some website- that ships them from a warehouse. If YOU get the wrong parts- you didn’t save any money- you will have to send the parts back and wait for the right ones- or pay more for locally sourced rotors and get your car fixed immediately- AND FIGHT THEM for a refund.
The image above was taken from the web- with a great paragraph describing what happened.
What causes thickness variations on brake rotors?
This image clearly shows material deposits of the brake pad on the rotor, and in this case, the imprint is defined by the visible layer of friction material that was transferred from the pad to the rotor when the brakes were over heated. While this happens most commonly with organic brake pads, it can also happen with some semi-metallic pad formulations, since these pads were actually designed to transfer some friction material to the rotor surface during normal use. In some cases though, the particular type of pad in use on the vehicle will wear away the high spots on the rotors, but the end result is the same; thickness variations on the rotor that cause brake pedal pulsations.
In cases like this, even high-quality brake rotors such as those supplied by DBA will be affected, since the pad material is bonded to the rotor on the molecular level. This pad material imprint will create a higher level of resistance than the rest of the rotor causing an oscillating brake torque, steering wheel vibration and pedal pulsation.
Of course, no technician can be blamed for the way some customers use the brakes on their vehicles….
The best materials usually last the longest and the longer the parts last, the fewer times you must change them…
