In addition to receiving a full brake service on your vehicle and the knowledge needed to do-it-yourself, you will also receive a custom printout with all of the critical info to make your next brake service easier! . You don’t want to miss this comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial on a common repair in the car world. PLEASE NOTE: Brake pads and rotors should only be replaced if they are close or at the end of their service life. The cost of this class does NOT include the cost of brake pads, rotors, or any hardware that may be required. After booking, we will contact you to arrange for the proper sourcing of these parts. We strongly encourage you to allow WPTL to purchase all necessary parts to ensure proper fitment and delivery prior to the class date. Please send an email to info@westphillytools.org with your vehicle's year, make, model, trim, engine, and your license plate number and state. You will also receive an email from us, if we do not hear from you. This information is needed ASAP to ensure we have the correct parts for your specific vehicle. Should you choose to not provide this information or decline to purchase any of the recommended brake components for the class, your class will instead focus on uninstalling and reinstalling the same brake parts so you can learn the steps for your future brake service. Please also plan to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your appointment time. As the instructor is booked for a specific time slot and there may be other appointments booked before or after you, please be on-time. If you are more than 15 minutes late, your appointment will be cancelled without credit or refund. While unlikely, brake services may require additional hours if there is a complex issue or special order part needed. Please note that your vehicle may need to stay overnight or longer, depending on the unusual circumstance. Also please consider paying more, if you are able, to help cover the costs of hosting this class and others like it. ------ Cancellations and Credit: If you have signed up for a class but are unable to attend, please complete the form at https://westphillytools.org/classes/request to cancel your enrollment.
