sorry guys, forgot to answer the brake prob that i posted yesterday.

we diagnosed it in 15 min.....ready???? it was something real simple!!!

the left caliper was on the right side and right caliper was on the left side. Soooooo......the bleeder valves were at the bottom of the caliper and air trapped in the system could not be bled out. No air was coming out when being bled so the tech assumed there was no air in the system. No leaks and 3 master cylinders. Something this simple the tech never thought it could happen so never bothered to check out. I got more stories ill post sometime.....

hehe sorry, yea im located in South SF, CA. The mechanic wasnt good but 99% of the time such a simple prob like that would be overlooked. Right now working at Firestone im learning alot and in the near future(1-3years) i hope to have my own shop open.
thanks for the good comments Vincent. I appreciate it and i do try my best and im always honest about wut i do and my work. when i can think of more brake probs easily diagonsed then ill post them.....
