This isnt really AMC related but since I like to work on my own stuff and I 
usually do, except in dire circumstances. When there is somthing that I dont 
have the tool for or somthing of that nature. Like when I was on the road 
all the stinkin' time and didnt have the time to do the stuff myself. I have 
found out that these SO CALLED service places that do tires and brakes and 
front end alignments are as CROOKED AS A DOGS HIND LEG!! My daily driver 
needed a front brake job about 2 years ago. I was on the road drivin' big 
truck and didnt have the time to do it myself. SO! I took it to a place that 
I THOUGHT could be trusted. And I have had the car back into them 2 
different times for warrenty work. The first time they were SAPPOSED to put 
premium pads and premium rotors. COME TO FIND OUT...it wasnt so. Less then a 
year later the rotors warped and the pads where shot because of the cheap 
rotors that they put on. SO! They turned the one rotor and replaced the 
pads. 2 months down the road....same problem. WARPED ROTORS! I finally got 
some answers from them and come to find out they put preimum pads with cheap 
rotors and of course they charged me for the premium rotors!   &$#@ers!! 
Being the nice guy that I TRY TO BE, I purchased some nice high performance 
rotors myself and made them put new pads and the rotors that I had 
purchased. Drilled and slotted rotors cost me 110 bucks apiece. This was 
less then 5 months ago and THOSE DUMB   &*%^$#&%$#*&ER'S put the rotors on 
BACKWARDS!! They have a direction of rotation that they are sapposed to go 
on and now ONCE AGAIN they are shot! 220 bucks right down the drain!! If 
someone would of read the DIRECTIONS that CAME WITH THE ROTORS, I would NOT 
have this problem. I called the head office and got the biggest bunch of 
CRAP I ever heard of! Since I purchased my own parts (even though some dummy 
put them on backwards!) there is no warrenty on the rotors! The rotors are 
BAER DECELA and WHERE a good product. I guess I could have them turned, but 
I shouldnt have to! I guess THEY dont cover thier own STUPIDITY! or thier 
own LABOR! Sorry to vent but I had to get this out. They are lucky I am a 
nice guy and dont throw em' through their nice plate glass window! I guess 
you cant trust anyone when it comes to parts and labor. IF YA WANT SOMETHING 
DONE RIGHT......DO IT YOURSELF! End of story....I am outta here! Thanks for 
listening!
