RE: [VAC] it's all bad



Much of the stuff you can do yourself.  You can confirm the gas leaks by
putting soapy water on the valves in question.  I think I would get a quote
from them before turning them loose on the brakes, then call around and
compare.  Have you looked at the brake shoes yourself, do these guys have a
good reputation?  They may be replacing things that don't need to be replaced
to save themselves hassle.  I know that even experienced AS technicians will
say they are a stinker to work on, requiring patience, so I would guess that
someone with little experience would view them as a time consuming bear.  I'd
ask them to quote the brake work.
