well i arrived at larry's auto clinic this morning about 7:30. while i was unhooking my car larry arrived at about 8:00, let me in his office and started the paper work. although it was cold and they do all the rv work outside, they started on my rig about 930. everything was good on my rig only needed calipers replaced, i had just flushed the fluid and the pads and rotors were perfect. by 2:00 they were finished and i was hooking up my car for the return trip back to n.c. larry could not be a nicer guy, and compared to the bad attitude you get at a lot of service centers, it sure was nice to deal with someone who actually seemed to appreciate your business. the only thing i would caution anyone about is that if you schedule on a day that is raining, they may not be able to get to it right away. other than that it was as good an experience i've had with a service center in a long time. the brakes worked flawlessly on the return trip, the only thing i noticed was a little more travel on the brake pedal. glad thats behind me, now if i could just hit the road and find somewhere to go

Monitor the pedal travel and if it's not as high as you think it should be, I would recommend that the brakes be bled again.
