Not to sound too nasty here but if you are bringing a vehicle to a professional mechanic for work, especially brake work, that shop should have the following: Some experience with the vehicle The Alldata, Mitchell, or some other program to do a fair estimate and get some instructions. Mitchell book says 2.6 hours, deduct .4 if doing with any other brake combination. Includes bleeding. I also think this is on the high side. Are you sure it needs the master? What are the symptoms?

He has never done a Vanagon before and he does not have it in front of him right now. He wants to wait until he has allot of time available before I drop it off. Is this true, do you need to take the dash apart? Thanks, Bryan |
