Now i need new pads so i took it in to budget brakes just to learn (or be told) i needed my rotors machined. And the total for it all to be done was about close to $180.00 to $200.00. Well i told them i didnt want to do the rotors n they said they cant honor the warranty fir the pads unless they machine or replace the rotors. I wasnt aware that i get new pads with warranty just to still end up having to spend more then what it cost to have the pads put on the first time. Whats the point of the warranty if i still have to spend lots of money for something i cant use unless other services is going to be needed done that would cost more money then just having new pads put on. I ended up just going to auto zone and buying “NEW ROTORS” and “NEW PADS” for $111.00. A lot cheaper then what budget brake seems to try to scam me out of. Bottom line is they warranty seems to be a scam

The employees here are professional and always happy to explain anything you need them to. They have always been upfront about cost, and they are won't try to force you into work you don't need. People who are worried that they will get up sold on something they do not need should have no fear with this place. They do their best to get the work done quickly as not to leave you without your vehicle long. Obviously this varies based on what you are having done, but like the issue with price, they will let you know ahead of time so that you can plan accordingly. The longest I went was one week, but I was having a laundry list of stuff done to the F150. It is a family truck that sat for years without use. If issues arise during your cars stay they will inform you promptly. I have never left this place unsatisfied, and have made it a point to refer friends, family, and co-workers when they are having car troubles. Jordan M. Knoxville, TN
