how do people go for so long for that to happen. One hint I’m on the squeal clips and I’m changing pads, and probably rotors.

Aftermarket brakes are cheap for those cars...ranging 79-136 for basic to premium; from the NapaZone

What I hated was fixing someone else's fvck ups, and the half way jobs. They started a job and find out it's way over their head.

True. But the people who own it are broke. I feel for them but if they’d gotten them changed however long ago they wouldn’t be in this situation. Calipers cost the shop $51 apiece and we can get pads and rotors for $69.99. Gold ceramic pads and plain rotors. The way our percentages have to be make the job really expensive in the end though. Parts have to be 24% or less of the job. So I get a part that takes no time to put on for $20, I have to charge $100 for our percentages to be right. That’s one thing I hate about corporate office crap. I try to cut people breaks whenever I can. Tell them to get the part themselves and I’ll throw it on for free if it takes me 5 minutes. At the same time I work on hourly with commission bonus, so I do try to sell things that are needed.
