    Don't get me started. So the night I bought the car the salesman threw the folder that they keep in the car, into the trash. I grabbed it because I wanted the review on the car that was in it. Inside was an invoice from the dealership from the service center. On it it stated "Declined f/t brakes at 1mm". After the 500+ quote from Midas for the repairs and such, I showed it to them and they confirmed that that means they knew the brakes were bad and had not replaced them. This is of course after I asked three times when the brakes had been replaced and was assured they had been replaced in the last couple months. So I went in and refused to speak with anyone but the GM, he was in a meeting so the sales lead guy comes out and I explain that I felt like I had been deceived and taken advantage of and here was the quote from Midas. I told them this is what I want done because we have a serious problem. They left to go talk to the GM and then came back. They said we will replace the rotors and brakes and check the rear ones. I said the brake fluid is filthy and I want that flushed as well. So they came back with the paperwork to have the pads replaced, the brakes serviced, fluid flushed and the brake rotors resurfaced. I said I want them replaced, he said if they have a problem they will be replaced so I am going to get that in writing when I take it in and I want premium parts because thats what Midas quoted me for. So they are going to call me to come in to have that done, sometime this week.

    I am mad, I will be less mad when this is all fixed and the car is running smooth.

    Also, how does resurfacing rotors work and is it a sketchy pathetic fix? Should I just demand new ones? I need to know what I want from them, I know I want nice ceramic pads but I dont know about the rotors. Thanks.
    The shitty part is that all the dealership has to do is get it running safely. Nothing more. That is why before you buy a car, you always take it to a mechanic you trust to have them go through it. The dealership has to get the brakes working right and safely, the GM knows that, you could have put them in some hot water if you knew the right people to talk to. Letting a car off the lot that has safety issues is a big no no.

    The older I get, the more it affects me in the evening. Gotta do decaf now at night if I need a coffee fix. It's not too bad these days. Decaf used to be really terrible. Now, with the right coffee, I can't tell a difference in taste.
