Don't disagree with "big life" vs. "lesser me"
.
Looked at my records on this more closely, it was nine times instead of six, in and out of the shop. It wasn't a big place or dealership, but an independent shop with quite a long history in the community, was recommended by my co-worker. This year is my fourth year with them.
Whenever I tried to replicate the issue, my leg got nervous, it either didn't happen or was not audible enough. One of these times, the mechanic thought it was front that made the noise. So all in all, the shop ended up replacing the pads and rotors on the rear twice both sides, and the front both sides too (warranty, front was changed by them about a year ago).
Although very annoyed for sure through the process, it was mostly due to time spent not really a feeling of being deceived. Everybody's been civil enough to everybody else, just crazily slow and ineffective.
I don't know, anybody else had the experience of "the thing happens all the time when I am driving, but just not when the mechanic is sitting in my car"? Haha.
