I brought in my 2005 Toyota Tacoma for brake work. It has 78,000 miles and was beginning to squeal at low-speed braking, usually indicative that the brake linings were thin enough that they should be replaced. The technician looked at the brake linings and saw they were in good shape and did not need replacement yet, but they had a large build-up of brake dust. He cleaned them up and put an anti-static spray on the brakes to lessen the amount of dust build-up in the future. It's nice that a local shop would do small maintenance for a fraction of a complete brake job. I would go back to The Bug Clinic when I have problems with my truck in the future, and I'd recommend them to others, just as The Bug Clinic was recommended to me.
The lady at the front desk was very nice and kept me informed of the status of my truck, too. The shop itself may look run-down but looks can be deceiving. Any good neighborhood auto shop will look the same way. It immediately reminded me of my good old auto shop in South Austin. read more
