Meineke........!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy Moly!

The "Champ" used to say, "You won't pay a lot for that muffler..." at Meineke.............

That may be the case for a stinking muffler, but it ain't for a brake job on your A-Body..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get this.......... I took the car in for the following: Turn the rear drums (good shape), replace the shoes (but NOT the hardware kits), replace the rear brake cylinders, bleed the brakes, and then change the right rear axle seal.

Total charge? $487. and change!! When I booked the job, thay told me the axle was not a problem...only an extra hour labor..........but when I delivered the car the next morning, their tune changed.........they blame the big cost on the axle seal............................................

I am so sick of these outrageous labor costs .........they all seem to have you over the barrel, and it's getting worse all the time..........

This totals about $120. in parts.....................Live and learn (and learn, and learn, and learn again............................)
