My parents have taken their vehicles to CT and have never had any issues.

I'd rather pay over $100k to raise a son and make him into a mechanic to do my brakes for free. Whose your daddy?

I think its more than fair to say several CT shops in the GTA sing from the same rather "unique" songbook of substandard parts and workmanship just above mine (Which is to say it might be right, it might not be, care to lay odds?) :P NefCanuck

I mean I know there are good CT mechanics. But whenever I've had work done at CT, I just keep running across the ones that can't seem to handle parts installation right, resulting in returned trips and spiked blood pressure :rolleyes: Me push a car? Dude if you want something for one of those "Stupid Home Video Shows" I'll push a car for you, you'll probably die laughing :P Sad part is that I was forced through two years of autoshop during my schooling (The local school board had some rather "interesting ideas about curiculum :ph34r: ) all that lovely theory crammed into my head that I can't use worth a tinkers damn because fate decided I rolled snake eyes :thumbsdownsmileyanim: NefCanuck

Th oly way I bring my cars into CT is if Aaron works on them. I specify it to the butch behind the counter :P
Tell Aaron I'll pay him 200 and he's got a deal. ;) 
"thats what ct quoted me"
:rofl: Your right meford, Id rather push my car than let some CT kid touch my car. 200??? Buy the parts, take a road trip to Ottawa (less than 200 gas) and I'll teach you a skill for life. Some kid at Canadaian tire can change breaks, you can. ;) ![[Image: ncclogo.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/Flofocus/ncclogo.jpg)

Hey anthony , bring your car to my place , ill change the brakes for you for a pack of smokes !
Front brakes right ? Only thing i would need you to bring is a 7mm allen wrench , and your pads/rotors of course , i have a jack and stands and the whole 9 yards and it took me 15 minutes a side to change my pads and rotors Let me know If you want pm me and ill send you my cell number. and btw i live in mississauga

I'm with Flo on this one Anthony.
Once you change your front rotors and pads for the first time, you'll never go back to the dealership. I changed my front brakes for the first time about six months ago (with no one's help) and I was surprised how straight forward it was. I'm an accountant not a mechanic. ;)

And that kid could fabricate a Turbo and do circles around your ass on any car any day. And then not have to push the car later. When you get your head out of your ass and actually know what your talking about, then open up your mouth and someone other than your Mom might listen. Until then, keep your pushing and your comments to yourself. Backyard mechanic knows all. :lol: And the offer is not viable Anthony as he is working 7 days a week right now.

When I say kid, i dont just mean your son, Im talking about all the kids there.
and yeah...yeah...I heard all about how great of a mechanic he is, yet your still running a whopping what.....160whp? :lol: Bring it.

How's your "running" shoes? And he's 23 and your 26 and he's a kid? You da man pop's. Now that I took care of my neighbour for waking me up, grumpy and all, I am heading back to bed. Go piss off Anthony/Nos until i get back.

runs great, havent had to do anything to the car for over a month and a bit now. Get with the program. :rolleyes:
I developp and test software for a living, I also have a hobby of working on cars, so like I said, anybody can change fawkin brakes. im sure your son has those....hobbies. At the end of the day your son loses the race. That is what matters, not that im 23, or 26, or I have to push a car or not....I win, you lose. Kind of like your sig....making excuses, but never winning anything. :lol: Loser. :lol:
