Just Brakes Just Brakes. "Why do you do it, Just Brakes? - FOR THE MONEY!" Atlanta Georgia

Several years ago, I bought a used truck from an aquaintance. The truck was in bad shape, and pulled to one side whenever I hit the brakes. Friends suggested I get them checked asap.

I always heard the Just Brakes commercial and figured they were just as good a place as any to take the truck. And they advertised the $99 special.

After they got my truck up on the rack and looked it over, the manager called me over and explained what the problem was. The brake system on the right front was completely frozen and would need replacing. That made sense, so I agreed to have the work done.

After getting started on that, he called me over and added that the brakeline should be replaced because it was so worn. Not knowing anything about brake systems, I had no choice but to believe him. Everything added up to over $700.00.

I was there all day. I got to witness others getting the same workup and getting mad. One woman told them to take her car off the rack and give her the keys back. She'd just recently bought the car and didn't buy what they were telling her.

A guy who'd come in for the special sat down waiting his turn on the rack. We struck up conversation and he said he just came in for the special. I guaranteed him they'd quote him at least $300.00. He said "No way." When the manager called him over and I saw the look of disbelief on his face, I didn't know wheter to laugh or cry for him. He asked for for his car back. He came over to gather his things and said they were a ripoff! I watched this repeat itself all afternoon.

Whenever I hear the commercial, I just want to rip the radio out of the wall and throw it. "...they really do care!" AAAAAGHHHH!!!
They are the scammers of the century!

Listen to the "fine print" quoted at the end of the commercial! You will NEVER pay the $99 special!
