I have been told that it's not a good idea to be too specific when consulting a repair person. Since I was planning a trip up north in my 1999 van, I needed to be sure there wouldn't be any surprises on the way and told the mechanic just that. Upon inspection, he recommended what I had suspected was needed - a complete brake job front and rear. The "service reminder" on the van had indicated additional maintenance was needed and he took care of that to my satisfaction. Rich is an expert at diagnosing mechanical problems and an excellent mechanic.
