BRAD'S CUSTOM AUTO

unknown

I planned on doing this myself but the place I had a lift to do so became unavailable.  I have used Brad's before and been very satisfied with their work.  I called to make an appt. which turned out to be a month away.  He said if your lift becomes available just call me to cancel.  I had purchased a complete exhaust system from a Corvette mail order company.  I took the car to the garage the first of September.  He started work on the exhaust and started noticing some other issues that I can't see.  The car has very low miles but sits the majority of the year in the garage.  He noticed the water pump I had installed 8 to 10 years ago had gone bad.  Then the spark plug wires I had installed years ago had been subjected to oil from old valve cover gaskets which rendered them unusable.  The calipers, brake pads and brake lines were simply a matter of sitting in a unheated garage, not being driven and old age.  The spindle only came to light when he tried to install the new caliper.  I bought the car with 19K miles on it and consequently all of the drive train and brake system is original.  All of these issues took place over a week and a half time frame.  He always gave me a call to tell me what was going on.  He asked me to come down once to show me what he had found.  When it was finally finished I can't honestly say that I liked the cost but for what he did and the quality of the workmanship it was well worth the price.  He knows what he is doing and his mechanics pay attention to detail.
