Needs attention now · 2
Safety or damage items. We would not leave these.
Front brakes: pads and rotors
Inner pads are down to 2 mm and both rotors are scored. The wear tabs will start to squeal any day, then grind.
Pads 2 mm (new is 10 mm) · rotors below minimum thickness
1.6 hr × $118 + parts $246.00 = $434.80
Front left CV axle boot
The outer boot is split and has thrown grease around the wheel well. Dirt gets in next, and the joint starts clicking on tight turns.
Boot torn along one fold · joint still quiet
1.2 hr × $118 + parts $192.00 = $333.60
Watch · 3
Fine today. Worth planning for.
Serpentine belt
Cracks across several ribs. Fine for now. We would change it at your next oil change, or sooner if you tow.
Cracking across ribs · no fraying or glazing
0.5 hr × $118 + parts $57.60 = $116.60
Engine air filter
Full of gravel-road dust and pine needles. A clogged filter costs fuel and power. Changing it takes two minutes while the hood is up.
0.1 hr × $118 + parts $38.40 = $50.20
Winter tires
Even wear, no damage. At 4 mm they still qualify as winter tires this season. BC's minimum for that is 3.5 mm, so plan a new set before next October.
Tread 4 mm across all four
Good · 5
Checked and fine. Nothing to do.

Brake fluid
Tested clean and dry. Nothing due.
Coolant
Protected well below minus thirty.
Steering and suspension
No play in the tie rods, ball joints or links.
Lights and wipers
All working. Blades clear the glass clean.
Approved so far, before tax
$89.00
