... or 3x as many components as you actually need replaced for a brake job.
I know nothing about the shop you mention, but many shops have for years got carried away with replacing parts on brake jobs. Then brother's shop was inspected for insurance. He only works on pre-55 Chevys, not what is likely to get a lot of miles. The inspector found a cabinet of parts to rebuild wheel cylinders. Brother had to sign, parts would be sold "carry-out only". Work in shop required WC be replaced by new or factory rebuilt. That started discussion (small sample. 1 worked at car dealer, 1 own independent auto repair, 1 own MC dealership) ALL stated their insurance required any brake work goes way beyond what is needed. For example, Bros shop, car need a steel brake line? Must replace all steel lines
