I like BRAKES
AS i try to get things fixed as they come along and BECAUSE im getting up in AGE i USE REPAIR SHOPS..I have had a AWAKENING in SUBJECT of FINDING SHOPS that charge ONLY for SERVICES RENDERED..I have a STOCK 79 12a.RB -headers being the only AFTERMARKET item..THE last time i was at a shop 1 got charged 300.00dollars to have the catalytic converter unplugged !!! THIS was done, a tune up (timing),,and supposedly work on my STARTER.560.00 Altogether..I didnt think about it till later I DONT HAVE A CATALYTIC CONV..SORRY about the size of this THREAD.. MY FRONT brakes are locking up and when its WET (SEATTLE) i skid to a stop..WHAT should i be expecting to HEAR from a HONEST SHOP ?THEY dont make noise just skid when its WET..AGAIN SORRY about length of THREAD

not really sure what the rest of the thread is about. a lot of noise ... you're saying you got robbed by a mechanic?
anyway, about the lockup. my first two thoughts are: 1. check your tires 2. check your rear brakes ( stock '79 so i'm guessing you have drums???) both can be done at home, by you, in your leisure time. :) |
Tires would be my very first option , rememebr those 4 little black round things are what keep your car's momentum power , everything to the ground .
cheap tires tend to not be as grippy you need to do research when you buy tires next time . tires are something that are always money well spent , get some tires that work well in the rain . and you should not be locking up nearly as easy |
