Disappointed. I am absolutely not mechanically inclined but I'm pretty sure I can remove the calipers, bleed the brake lines and put them back on. Blah.
And if they needed to move your car, they wouldn't be able to stop it.

Do you really think they are going to push it around why you get your calipers powdercoated. How does this not make sense man?
