Please advise me on my break issue….
I own a 2020 Durango SXT(I think)that I have been trying to get someone to change the break pads changed since March. The first guy actually offered. He knows I hate asking for help, so I offered to pay him, but with only 76K miles I just thought it needed an oil/filter change. I’ve now purchased the set of both front and rear pads. Not to mention the oil, filter and brand new oil basin. I’m out $200 for labor I prepaid him that I’ll never get back, but now my rear passenger brake is grinding. I paid a guy $60 and he claimed he removed the tire and realized he needed a tool, so couldn’t complete the job!!! Seriously??!?! WHAT TOOL? He said it was something used to remove the brake caliper. Based on from my understanding understand I could rent it and get my money back when I return it, or buy one and just keep it. Is anyone familiar with what I’m speaking about? I’m at my wits end with this crap. I never asked either of these men for help. They offered and I’m out a total of $260 PLUS parts!!! I want to go buy the part, so I will have it for the future. Thanks in advance for any decent help, or suggestions. I’m about to start watching YouTube videos, but I’m not going to attempt replacing the pads myself. Thanks to anyone offering advice. I know, I know - I shouldn’t pay until the jobs over. I won’t ever make a mistake like that again.
