So I need brakes for my 95 VW. No worries right? I have a coupon for $99 brakes and make an appt. at the Reno Brakeway across from the Peppermill. I show up and they begin to "inspect" my car. Here's where the bait and switch begins... Apparently my car is so serious that it needs $569 worth of work? But of course it's "just a suggestion". My new friend Zach initimates that I may be in danger if I do not go all in with this service and that i shouldn't be driving in this condition. Mind you I simply had a squeak when I showed up.

These guys are the very definition of rip-off. Do not go there and tell all your friends not to go there. Take your car to an honest shop - with Brakeway as the example almost anyone in town would be better.
