    Luv it when a garage uses your money to chase a problem.
    When they tell you what's wrong with it and give you a price, always be sure to say, "and this will solve the problem, correct?"
    If they don't fix it, well they will have to because they said it would. That's supposedly why they are in the business of fixing and not hoping to fix.

    An Auto garage is NEVER suppose to let you drive a vehicle that is unsafe for you or anyone else on the road until it is properly repaired. If you get in an accident they can be responsible for it.

    Usually pedal dropping low is a rear brake shoes issue or air in the line. Our brakes are a simple design and if the rear brake shoes are out of adjustment the pedal will drop and the E-brake can also have a long travel if it isn't self adjusting. If you hold the pedal down, does it continue to drop or is it firm. Is the fluid nice and clean now that they installed a Master Cylinder. If the shop just installed a new Master Cylinder and left the old brake fluid in, you may want to try and run over the garages owner's foot when you can.

    Keep us updated!
