** Beware of Deceptive practices **\r
\r
Groupon had a $49 front or rear brakes deal with \r
AAMCO of Lakewood - 12006 Pacific Highway Sw Tacoma, WA 98499\r
\r
We took my wife's VW Beatle in for front breaks on Sept, 15 2014. After inspection, they found that it needed new Rotors and a Caliper rebuild as well - adding $218.57 to the bill -- $267.57 Total - Not the best deal in town. My thoughts -- They have the car, so just do it. \r
\r
Recently, my wife and daughter started complaining about a soft petal and ""noisy - Grabby Brakes.” And so I Took it back to AAMCO on Feb. 9th for inspection - They came back with it needing a New Master Cylinder (mine was leaky) and that the Rear Pads/Rotors are completely worn out -- Wanting close to a grand to fix it - I don't trust them so I went to pick up the car. He dropped the price a few hundred to try and save the deal. Nope! \r
\r
I took the car to Too Quick's German Auto Service the next day - They found the brakes and master cylinder in perfect working order and the rear brakes at 40-50% - I called AAMCO and told them of Too Quick's assessment and the manager apologized, Blamed it on the mechanic, Promised to have a chat with him and offered me a free oil change --- Hell No!
