Had a gal that works for my wife stop out today. Very pretty 32 year old, raising 12 year old on her own, and doing a darn good job at it. She was all upset, saved her pennies for a NEW set of tires ( ussually been buying used-low income/priorities)and when she had them installed, the service guys did a "courtesy" check. Came back told her her brakes have a "system failure". She NEEDS to have them repaired. Sheet said "leaking wheel cylinder, contaminated shoes, cleaned and adjusted brakes". Well having no money she was stressing what to do. Well, I jacked her car up, and checked things out. didnt find no leaking cylinder, couyld use new shoes and turned drums in a few months here their " deal" Brake shoes $39.99
Wheel Cylinder 2 @ $26.99/ea
Combination Kit $18.99
Rear drum brake labor $99.00
flush fluid $20.99
Flush labor $49.00
New Drums $ 2@$51.29 ea
They wanted a grand total of $356.67, for a rear brake job, that really is fine, and if the cylyder was leaking, it would just need a cylinder. (which I couyld tell, have not been cleaned or adjusted) My cost if I bought the parts at local Auto store Set of Heavy duty shoes $21.99
Wheel cylinder (1) $14.99
Turn drums ( they are thick and look like they never ben turned yet) $10/ea
Labor- Nothing but a smile, she could use a break.
Why do these prick service station take such advantage of some one that just told them " I've been saving for months for these tires" and try to screw her like that. Wonder how many people a day get shafted like this.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
