My wife went to Dobbs to get a pin hole leak in her tire fixed. She calls me later and tells me we need to come up with $700 for a front brake job.

They tried to scare her into beliving that she and my children were in serious danger riding in that car. They told her the caliper was hangin off the rotor. I have been through this before with Dobbs so I went and got the car.

There was nothing wrong with the calipers at all.

For her piece of mind I replaced the rotors and pads my self for $115. These were the quality parts too. Even with brand new calipers it would have been about $230, but I didn't need them. I don't know how much they charge for labor, but a front brake job for a professional mechanic with a full service shop should only take about 30 minutes MAX.

That means for they charge about $470 dollars per 30 minutes of labor. Not to mention they get their parts a lot cheaper than i do at NAPA. So it's actually closer to $500 per half hour.

That's one thousand dollars an hour. SCAM

Monetary Loss: $600.

Location: Riverton, Utah

Wow... this is awful to treat your wife this way...

and to scare her like that... what are these employees thinking?

I work on brakes myself on a semi-pro level and yes a lot of scams take place. but shop time for a quality job inspecting things properly takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
