    my nephew brought his prelude round for me to look at other day after taking it in to Midas(NZ) for a free vehicle inspection....said it was worse after he took it in,.....checked the inspection sheet out....said he needed to have both rear rotors lathed and new pads needed,....when i checked it out,...jacked it up ,...rear wheels wouldn't even turn,.....found that the handbrake had been adjusted up to far causing pads to be grabbing just enough so as not to bring handbrake light on and cause serious damage to rear brake components.......after some serious interrogation of my nephew i concluded that it was the mechanic at Midas who was the culprit.......so be weary ppl's...there are some unscrupulous ripoff artists out there

    Uh, if they were going to charge you $50 to bleed your brakes then you would have been ripped off
    Slow and low, thats the tempo

    Midas sucks. my mom has an 88 accord lx and shes gone through 3 mufflers in the past 5 or so years. its pathetic. lifetime guarantee maybe, but its a pain in the ass because the mufflers keep going out.
