I mean, you could've just gotten a car with some brake pads that weren't the "newest" and you burned through what they had left over the past 15 months. whereas you got your cobalt new and it was probably getting ready to need some when you got rid of it
just a thought

Always be leery when a shop tells you that you need the following items:
Brakes Any kind of "flush" Belts Alignments - if the car isn't pulling or creating odd tire wear.
Mechanics consider all of the above "gravy work". It takes a short amount of time to do, and has a high profit margin. Most of the time the service doesn't need to be performed. Brakes are infamous for this.
I had a guy tell me that I needed brakes one time as well. I had him show me and explain why they were worn. Boy was he embarrassed when I told him that I was an ASE certified Master Tech. He just back pedaled and then put the tires back on.
Gotta watch those fuckers...

Rear brakes are more expensive than front brakes. But if they are drums, then they should outlast front brakes about 3:1.

I know how much it costs for brakes But if it was 350 for all 4 and now all of a sudden it is 320 for 2, does that make sense to you?. So 30 dollars to change the front breaks? Not likely.

we already established she got hosed by the dealership. hopefully between now and the next time she needs work done, she'll ask around her group of friends and coworkers for (a) mechanic friends, or (b) auto repair recommendations

lets focus on the positive!
