Check this out

So this just came in LOL. Notice the black spray paint on the nut and bearing! Customer wanted to check over the vehicle because he had just done wheel bearings but it was still making noise.

Lots of meat left on there! You're just up selling him.
Can't you just machine those out and throw some pads on it? Haha

I used to laugh at the desolate shape I occasionally find a vehicle in, but now I see them and remember these are the people doing 80 next to you on the interstate.

Tires are the primary one that I see. People rolling on slicks with the cords showing, and then we get a little snow and they complain about no traction

Oh, and those rotors/brakes were making noise for months before it got to that point. Don't let them try to pull "it just started last week" nonsense.

Apparently the customer purchased the vehicle (2000 Chevrolet 2500 4x4 6.5 detroit) only a couple days ago And didn't drive it much due to the brake noise. He was Irate about the cost of the 1 bad caliper 2 rotors and pads all the way around because he had paid too much for the truck. I advised him that pre purchase inspections can save you a lot of money.

Cords are almost like snow cables....
