RE: [T3] paint ding at the shop and brakes


<x-charset windows-1250>like everyone said, he just denied it and told me it could have happened
anywhere.  the paint is totally chipped off for about a 1/2" by 3/4" area.
I can tell it is brand new because when I looked closely I could see the
little microfibers that would come off during washing if it were an old ding
that I just hadn't ever noticed.  he didn’t want to admit that I had a good
point there and just started pointing out other imperfections in my paint.
what a lamo.  however, I did notice it the second I came up to the car from
15 feet away.  the shop is called Unique Imports in Mission Viejo, CA.
Anyone know of another shop I can turn to in the Irvine area if the need
should arise?

well, the other thing the guy did was turn my drums twice and then tell me
that they are so thin they are overheating and warping.  that's funny
because the pedal started pulsating AFTER the first time he turned them.
how can turning drums cause them to generate a pulsation?  isn't it the
opposite?  

anyway, they're brazilian so I'd like to get some german ones if anyone
knows where I can get some.  any good old ones still out there worth working
with or should I just go new?  shop said they couldn't find anywhere
stocking the drums but that they would be $80 each if they did.
