It was on my short list to swap to snows on my Forester. But I slid into snow bank with Crosstrek and ripped up the rear bumper. So wife is now eager to get the snows swapped on Forester since its snowing.
She brings it to Midas, they do the swap and balance for $30. But say the rear brakes need replacing and show her how rusty they are. $350. The vehicle inspection report has green check marks for everything however. She called and I said hold off, I smell a rip off. Vehicle has 50K miles.
Not sure what they were going to do for $350? She did not get a printed estimate. $350 should have paid for pads, rotors and calipers. I doubt at 50K miles it needed calipers. They would not have installed Akebono pads. Glad I was able to have Midas hold off on the work.
