I need to get my muffler and my brakes done. Is it better to go to the dealership, a car repair center or a specialist (like meineke)? ---

What year is this auto? If it’s out of warrantee, the dealer is the second last place to go, with Meineke the last place. Find a reputable independent shop. Ask friends and co-workers for recommendations. ---

I’ve had good work done at Midas, but you have to be firm against the up-sell. If your brakes are working OK now [no pulsing while stopping (warped rotor) and no unusually hot wheels after a drive (dragging caliper)] then just get new pads. ---

Suggest to go to a good, well recommended independent shop for that. You want a good inde shop on your side anyway for your future car repair and maintenance needs. This makes a good opportunity to ask your friends and coworkers for shop recommendations and locate one that suits the bill. ---

There have been a number of troll postings recently that are exact copies of other older legitimate posts. I flag them as I see them. ---

I wonder what the purpose of the copy is. Seems like a waste of time even for a Troll.
