DFRESH Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Anybody have first hand experience with a reputable car shop in/around Tucson? My wife is driving our older car across the country next week so I went to change the brakes/rotors and found that one of the retaining screws on her front drivers side rotor was sheared off inside the spindle. Trying to get a reasonable priced repair in a short timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) If you're on or around the NW side, the Firestone at Ina/Thornydale does outstanding work and is very thorough and honest. Only place I take both my personal as well as my fleet vehicles. If you're in another part of town, I may know a couple places in various areas that may work.

DFRESH Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 SE side. I remembered the place that checked out my Acura before I sold it and brought it to them. Accurate Automotive near Broadway and Pantano. I'll put up a review when they're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springer Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 +1 for Dan's Toy Shop Whatever you do NOT take it to Brake Masters. Sis got stranded on x-country drive after brakes were replaced. Stripped studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFRESH Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 See, that's what I thought too. But I feel like there's extra play in that brake. Maybe not. Too late meow though, mechanic is drilling out the screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFRESH Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 I took it to Accurate Automotive near 22nd (earlier I said Broadway, my bad) and Pantano. They charged me $90 to put my car on a lift, take the tire and brake assembly off, remove the rotor, drill out the busted screw, and re-install rotor, brake assembly, and tire. I don't think that's too bad of a price since all my tools/garage stuff was packed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
