Just a heads up. We have an NTB down the road from us and we have had more than a few people that got outrageous quotes from them. One was a 4 year old ford escape with 28K miles on it. NTB told them it needed front and rear brake pads, front brake hoses, front calipers, and rotors. The quote was somewhere in the 900-$1000 range. All it really needed was front brake pads. Customers get sucked in by theyre "free inspection, or free tire rotation" and then get hammered with a laundry list of stuff they dont need. At least 4 customers came to us after getting theyre NTB estimatelast year, which makes me wonder how many people actually got the work done there. Beware of any place that offers anything for "free", and if you get an outrageous estimate take it somewhere else and get a second opinion. Its those types of chain stores give the repair industry a bad reputation.
