Doing DE's, I'm moving up sort of fast and almost solo. So, I needed new brake pads and went with racing pads which I could also use on the street. I did not want to change pads before and after each DE. Being retired and not having to much to do, I wanted my friend and expert Porsche Pro to change the brake pads, flush the brake fluid and change my motor oil. So, I traveled 200 miles across alligator alley to spend time with Pedro.

We had a wonderful time together harassing each other. He let me watch him work rather than making me sitting in the waiting room alone with his big dog.

I did my DE the following weekend and the new brakes were outstanding. However, they squeal a lot in normal traffic just before the car comes to a stop. Pedro warned me of this; but, I thought I could live with it. Wrong! So, with a little more help from Pedro over the phone, I replaced the racing brakes with the OEM brakes in my garage at home. After I did the changeover, I called Pedro and told him thanks for the help and I needed a certificate of completions to show every one I completed the Pedro course of instruction for replacing brake pads with much success.

Then, a week later I received this certificate. Ask and you shall receive. Many thanks to PEDRO. hot smiley the finger smiley smiling bouncing smiley smileys with beer thumbs up
