| Description of the problem | I had my brakes checked out at a shop in mountain home arkansas, mountain motors hwy 5 n.. Asking that they bleed and inspect as necessary ,and check torques. After an hour and twenty minutes i was told that the bleeder on one caliper broke off! They did not replace the bleeder, they said it would be ok! The brakes failed completely less than 1000 later! We were lucky, the pedal went to the floor in a small town in wisconsin. We were moving slow and i coasted into a parking lot! The vehicle had to be towed and $750. 00 later we continued our trip. There is no regulatory agency in arkansas,and the repair shop is ignoring me! Can you help? I have reciepts. |
