That truly sucks!

Might be time to send a letter to their corporate headquarters. Or maybe Michael Finney at 7 on your side?
I wish I had some disc brakes I could throw your way. If I see something at pick n pull I will let you know. Discs aren't perfect either but seems less of a hassle. 20 years ago a shop like Big O would probably handled this but now they seem pretty clueless unless it is a Honda or toyota.

I'm never ever taking my car to a mechanic again, I only did it because the brakes blew out and the pedal wouldn't stop the car and they were the closest I could roll to. Next time I just blow through every red light, since i can't stop and ram it right into the wall to stop when I get home, at least I know all the lights will still ****ing work.
