jschunke Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 a criminal mechanic wants $600 in labor to replace the rear calipers, pads, rotors. that includes an hour to bleed the ABS. I said the abs bleed procedure is not required, especialyl if air is introduced downstream of the abs modulator. he wants me to sign a dicslaimer. meanwhile i just completed one side and it blead easily. I replaced every line on this vehicle years ago and never did the abs bleed, and i'm still alive. is this mechanic trustworthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschunke Posted February 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 I left in a huff, after the mechanic told me he was going to drive my 05 caddy SRX on the road at 25 mph and lock up the brakes to test the ABS. no one is going to thrash my caddy.

Göran W Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 No Cadillac (or any other modern car) will suffer any harm by locking the brakes at 25 mph. If it did it has already got serious flaws.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
