Guest imported_JohnW Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I've about exhausted my fingers and contacts searching for a reputable mechanic/shop to flush the brakes on my 1990. None of the Buick dealers or brake shops I contacted seem to know about the brake system and I don't feel much like trusting them with this job. Has anyone found a good shop in Chicagoland? I'm in the far western burbs but don't mind a commute to get things done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filobedo Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I have found that a "smalltime" or "backyard" Mechanic is better suited for this particular job. You can use your instructions from {reatta.net} and most will listen to you and follow them. Other bigtime "bighead" Mechanics, will not...
