Find a new mechanic, avoid the past.

Yes, he went out of Buss already. I was t going back anyway, the owner is a good friend, me didn’t work on it, makes you wonder about your employees, I did all my own brake work fir years, never had a problem. Now days, they always put new rotors and pads on. I don’t think they even check them.

Glad your daughter is ok. First thing is strangle that F**ken mechanic and then send him packing for good. I have a diabetic child who also has had blackouts and near misses as a result

My college roomie owns a body shop in southern IL, years ago they had a car come in that had hit a deer. Deer went thru the windshield and kicked the driver to death before it succumbed to its injuries. Glad your daughter is OK.....time to get rid of that Jeep!!!

Glad she’s ok. Deer can do a lot of damage and hurt, or kill. I could never understand how people could hit deer....until my first one and the two since then.

I hit a turkey with my El Camino last week, smacked the grill, skidded up the hood and when I stopped, he was looking thru the windshield, a foot in front of me and still alive.

$2700 plus in damage.

Guy I knew in high school hit a horse running down the middle of the road one night. In a .... mustang. He ended up with a pretty good gash on his forehead.
Glad your daughter is ok, pretty high hit

Wow. We have a lot of deer where I live, she said she didn’t expect it out by her moms place. I’m always worried taking the TA out, just this past may I found this in my back yard.
