Michael Makes a Basic Mistake
My son bought a used BMW 5 series several years ago. When it was time to replace the front brakes, we each took a wheel to replace the pads. My son and I always do our own brakes.
Everything came apart easily. We each installed our respective pads, reassembled everything and went out for a road test. We immediately heard scraping sounds when the brakes were applied. We continued the road test thinking that the pads were bedding in, but they did not get any better.
Figuring something was wrong, we gingerly drove back home. Upon inspection of the brake pads my son replaced, I saw that they were installed backwards! He thought he would never hear the end of his dad picking on him for installing brake pads incorrectly. We re-installed the pads and went for another road test, but there was still a scraping sound!
Back to the garage… We checked the brakes we just fixed and they were fine. We took the other wheel off (the one that I was working on), and believe it or not, those pads were on backwards too! We each worked independently and both made the same silly mistake!

Great Service
I was sent a part that was purchased before and returned. I was treated with respect by everyone involved and the parts have been shipped back with no issues. I will be buying more parts from them.

Blower Motor
The car blower motor is a crucial component of a vehicle’s HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system, responsible for circulating air throughout the interior cabin. Typically located within the HVAC housing under the dashboard, the blower motor operates by drawing in outside air, passing it through the heater core or air conditioning evaporator, and then pushing it through the vents into the car’s cabin.
The car blower motor, controlled by the HVAC panel, adjusts airflow for comfort, regulates temperature, and aids in defogging. Over time, wear from usage or debris accumulation can lead to issues such as reduced airflow or strange noises. Prompt replacement or repair is crucial for a safe and comfortable driving experience. Regular maintenance, like cleaning and lubricating, extends the motor’s lifespan and ensures optimal performance.
