****, I got an call from my mechanic ( on a sunday ) stating my work truck is ready to pick up. I had dropped it off on Tuesday night for its annual inspection and related sticker. He knows 100% that I need it for a job tomorrow because it was not ready on Thursday ... or Friday and said he would come in on the weekend if he had to making sure it was ready for Monday because I was kinda bitchy on Friday when it was not ready LOL.
Call went something like this ...
But by the way... you know how that one front caliper was kinda seized and you wanted me to overlook it and just put the sticker on ??? Well I ended up replacing both front calipers because both were wearing on the inside, and of course pads and rotors. And when we checked the rear parking brake it was barely working soooo... we changed the cable and and once apart the rotors looked like sh*t so we changed those out and put on new pads ...... but man you are going to be golden for years now. Truck looks great, you did a great job on the cab corners and door bottoms. For a 99 it is in really great shape !!
So it's Sunday, and your truck is ready. New sticker on the windshield stating that it's valid for another year, sorry it wasn't ready on Thursday or Friday,
So looks like my $200 inspection will turn in to a bill for $2k. Granted I have known the guy for like 20 years and he knows I have no interest in doing brakes in the snow in my driveway on an F450 but sheesh my wallet will not like tomorrow.
Rant over !!!
