Did I just get fucked? Do people replace their brake pads by themselves?

Dude you just got fucked big time
The squeezing was probably caused by your caliper or rotor brushing in your brake pad or something and when you braked the squeaking stopped for what ever reason
Brakes and rotors are simple things that you can do your self it's an easy self maintenance thing anyone can do with a few wrenches and a screw driver
Fuck!
I am now reading their shitty car magazines.
I said yes because I do have a 14 hour drive and don't want to take chances. Can't have this shit breaking in the middle of nowhere with no cell service.
>me $475
Sometimes I wonder if they do this just to see if someone actually pays it.
I told him to fuck paying $475 so now I'm spending $175
Just to replace the front ones
Yea but you didn't really have a problem to begin with your car would have lasted until you got home
Better safe than sorry I guess
>until you got home
And then what? You think driveways act like Pokemon Centers for cars where they magically heal themselves?
Probably

He could do his brakes and rotors himself in his own driveway or at least he'd be in his home town where he could know someone who could do it or a local mechanic he knows
He got taken advantage of easily
