Had my brakes inspected at Firestone yesterday and they told me the LF caliper had froze and the inner LF brake pad was down to the metal. All of the other pads were fine. They quoted me $131.11 to fix it. Took it to Keyes today because a faulty caliper SHOULD be covered in my bumper to bumper warranty. The car only has 32000 miles on it. Keyes tells me there is nothing wrong with the caliper. That one brake pad just mysteriously wore down all on its on for no apparent reason. They quoted me $717.45 plus tax to fix it and had the audacity to suggest I do a brake fluid exchange for an additional $144.95. I called bull and they had this little boy (Miguel Escobar) try to show me how the caliper is functioning... now. I don't give a flying fig on how its working now. They took it completely off and were probably manipulating it all day. They told me I couldn't have my car back in that condition because it was unsafe... REALLY? So you're going to hold my car hostage and force me to pay you to fix a problem that should be covered by my warranty??? I don't think so! I hate when mechanics try to take advantage of a woman. Don't create problems and try to give me BS excuses. There is no explanation as to why only the inner LF brake pad would wear down on its own and all of the others be fine if the caliper wasn't faulty in some way. Get it together Keyes Chevrolet Service Department! You all should really be better than this! So disgusted and disappointed. You will not be getting my business again!
