1 /5 Leonard James: My first hint came when doing routine maintenance on my truck late one night and it looked like a lightning storm around the spark plug wires. Odd, Les just changed out the spark plug wires only a couple weeks ago! Well the story was he must’ve forgot. Of course the wires were actually different ones apparently just old used defective ones.
Big red flag, that was the end for me at least I thought.
Earlier, I had Les do some rear brake work on this large truck. The brake drums were shot so he replaced them. Very expensive drums 1500 bucks apiece. Fast-forward about a year and ½ later and I was having some issues with brakes not functioning as expected.
Well I took my truck to another mechanic and lo and behold the brake drums were totally shot and yet the brake shoes were pretty much brand-new. Now how did that happen?
That isn’t bad work, that is total theft in my opinion. Plus you really don’t want a 33,000 pound truck that can’t stop very well.
