In my car, the mechanic noticed that one brake pad on the left rear wheel was wearing more than the others.
So, the entire brake caliper, rear brake pads, and rear brake hoses were replaced, along with the handbrake linkage.
Of course, the entire brake fluid system was also replaced.
Since it had been a year since the last oil change, the engine oil and oil filter were also replaced.
The air filters and the cabin air filter were also replaced – I had hoped they would only need to be replaced every two years, like checking a
bmw breakers yard for used parts, but unfortunately, upon removal, they were terribly dirty.
Since the multi-ribbed belt was too loose, it was replaced with a new one, along with the belt tensioner and idler pulley.
These car repairs, i.e. parts and labor, cost me $670.
