Tell me it isn't so.
On March 31st of 2013, I brought my car in to Just Brakes to have my brakes checked. It was about 45 Mins. later when one of the service reps came out and told me he had some bad news. I was told that my brake system was contaminated. I didn't know what that meant. He brought out something that resembled a test tube. In it were two different shades of brake fluid. The dark shade was my brake fluid. I was flabbergasted. He showed me a piece of rubber that comes under the brake fluid cap. It was deformed. He said that it got that way from the contaminated fluid. I asked him what this was going to cost me to fix. He ran an estimate, and brought it out in just a few minutes. Are you ready for this? The estimate was $2767.14. This is not a joke. I have the estimate. The service rep even contacted my insurance to help me file a claim. He said my car was vandalized.The insurance company did come over and look at my car. They found the whole thing rather amusing. This entire event really scared me. I partially believed it. I was despondent for several weeks, didn't know what to do. I brought my car to Sears yesterday, and my brake fluid is ok. Had new pads installed, and my bill was $164.18. I had to share this story, it's disgusting.
