Thanks Linda, I definitely won't be using same mechanic.
Wow! Didn't know you had to pull axle for the job. But hey, I only want it done right!
Are the brake shoes the only thing you'd buy the other/better brand, as far as the list goes? All the rest good?
this is an extremely great help. Now I have to find the right mechanic. If you think of something else I should know - please share.
