So I whent down to sears monday morning to purchase a tire for the one that took a dump on me this weekend. My road home is riddled with potholes and washboard bumps. Got a hole in the whalmart special passenger tires that are on my Sportage. I purchased one 235/75/15LT BFG All-Terrain Ta KO to compliment the new one I had already been using as a spare. They told me it was going to be 4 hours till they could get to my car since it was the winter tire rush season. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> So I took it down to another shop that ended not being open for another hour. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> got pissed and went and had my oil changed over at jiffy lube. Got back to the shop from earlier and had the two BFG's mounted on the rear of the Sportage with Wahlmart specials still on the front. But the shop torqued off one of my studs when putting the wheels back on. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> so I was super pissed.
So I said forget it and took my Sportage to Napa to have them replace the nonexistant brakes and this is what I was quoted.
$1100.00 for the following work. Front Axle: New Brake pads, Rotors, Bearings and Seals, CV- Boots. Rear Axle: New Shoes, Brake Lines and Stud Bolt.
Does this sound fair to you, considering my location in Alaska and the work to be done?
