    Sabotage customer's property I went for ******** Inspection in Oct 2021, I was charged more than 600USD for replacing rear rotors, pads and calipers. Right after the service, the car lost its brake, I had to pump the brake pedal 2 to 3 times to get effective braking. I called the garage immediately and was told that I should come back. The owner and one tech. jacked up the car. It took another hour and half to get it corrected. During next several months, I noticed the caliper on the left side rusted badly, and at 8th month after the service, left side caliper started leaking brake fluid. Went back in the shop, the caliper was replaced free of charge under the warranty. 4 month later, the right side caliper started leaking fluid again. I contacted the owner and the caliper leaking was confirmed by its mechanics. Then I was told to get right side caliper replaced it would cost around $250 USD. I was ****** by its workmanship and using low quality parts I have never heard a brake caliper would break in 8 12 months. The owner offered 10%, and then 20% discount to replace the bad caliper I refused. Below par workmanship and using of low quality parts are the hallmarks of this auto shop. If you can avoid, STAY AWAY from Tao's Auto Service.Follow up - I purchased a brand new caliper online and one of my friend offered to put it on the car. A shocking surprise is when the wheel was taken off, we found there are two pieces of thin metal washes (see attached picture) floating between the rotor (back side of the rotor) and rotor's dust shield which making scratching noises when rotor rotates. Now we know why the rubber seal of caliper cylinder leaks! Those two washers rotate as wheel spins and their sharp edges will slash the rubber seal when they contact with caliper piston outer seal. THIS IS SABOTAGE! Who did it and why did he do it The shop owner, ********** needs to explain!
