The brakes in my 99 Grand Prix recently failed.
Last year to replace the lines was upwards of $400, even when cost of the parts was only $40.

I'm looking for someone with references (friends, family) who can vouch for your abilities. I don't want to hire just anyone because brakes are important!

I'm offering cost of parts obviously, plus $40 for your time.

If you do good work I will hire you again for it's other issues!

Funny part is they want references to pay $40 for a $400 job. lol

my mechanic happens to be my best friend's girlfriend's dad... he patched a brake line in my truck twice for free before it took a sh!t

Patched?!

it was a 16 year old rust bucket, i wasn't paying to replace the whole thing. i'm not entirely sure what he did. He said something like he cut out the rusted part, cut a piece to fit, and used something to attach it in place. whatever it was it worked, it was a different line that broke the second time
