Bel Air Auto Service

After using this service to do some oil changes (done well at a good price) and repairs they recommended (surprising, but every car needs repair sometimes, right?), we had an apparent caliper sticking on our brakesI took the car in and they called me with a quote to redo all brakes, rotors, and calipers, to the tune of $Since I'd just had the rear brakes redone months earlier at a different garage, I decided to have the previous shop look at the brakes for a possible warranty issueThe mechanic at the previous shop lifted my car, took off the wheels, and both he and another mechanic walked my husband and I around the car, with brand new parts in hand for my benefit of comparison, and encouraged me to personally inspect my brakesIt became quite obvious to me that the rear brakes still had about 75% life, as they should, and no need of being replacedThe front did need to be redoneWhen I pointed this out to Bel Air, the owner indicated he would talk to the mechanic who did the inspectionAt best, this is the case of a poorly trained mechanicAt worst, it is a system of cheating customersIt's truly difficult to know the difference without more dataIn either case, I highly suggest getting a second opinion when considering having Bel Air do work aside from oil changes
