I bought a used car and had Redmond Transmission inspect it and care for any issues. It turned out well. I feel like Leo's heart is in the right place to fix things the right way, I appreciate that. At the same time, it does him a disservice if I can't afford to fix it the right way and he seems almost unwilling to offer any other option.
I can accept doing things halfway, for instance, I scraped a pole and got a dent in my car and went to another place just to get it dinged out instead of doing the whole official process (painting it over and everything). They said they could do that and dinged the dent out the best they could.
With Leo, he fixed my rear brakes and said that my pads looked thin so he wanted to replace them. So I said sure, go ahead. Then he says he wants to replace the rotors but I wasn't sure whether or not to trust him to only recommend things I needed. That kind of issue causes skepticism. I can understand if he's just protecting his own liability with his work and he is very willing to explain things and answer any questions I have. He's really friendly and takes his time but he doesn't make me feel confident that he's giving me all the details so I can't offer for him to just do a half (more affordable) fix.
