My car is in the shop again. I have a six year old Malibu. I put new brakes on it earlier in the month. The first time the dealership had it, they failed to bleed the brakes correctly and I nearly smashed up the car. I went back the next day and had a bit of a row with the service writer who wouldn't believe me. I ended up having a phone conversation with the service manager and getting a free oil change out of the deal. Fast forward to earlier this week, there's a noise. It's an odd noise emanating from the brakes, it's not a dragging sound, more like a loud creaking noise. I think it's a caliper issue, but I can't say definitively. The service writer I dealt with before wouldn't have anything to do with me this morning, which is fine, because I didn't want to deal with him either. It's sad when you're on a first name basis with the courtesy van driver, but at least he's a fun guy. As long as I can get to work, Beanie's a happy worker. But I'm really hoping I don't have to see him for a while after this...I miss my car.
