pay attention to warning signs and sounds

the small screeching sound from the right rear wheel was actually the warning caliper on the brakes. saved about $200 because only the brake pads had to be replaced instead of the entire cylinders. and i asked if there was a coupon that could be applied. yes...there was a flyer on the counter so i got $25 off. i forgot to ask to see the belts they replaced. i'll call tomorrow to remind them. probably original equipment and maybe would have been replaced at the next major checkup at 60,000 miles. fluids and things all checked and filled as needed. i feel much better.
