Having worked at a repair facility, I can see how easy it would be.

LOL!! It just amazes me that anyone in this day and age could be so ignorant/naive about the simplest functions of an automobile. I wonder just how much $$ unethical shops make selling muffler bearings etc. each year. If any of you have kids (especially daughters), you would be doing them a disservice to not teach them the basic workings of a modern automobile! ( By the way Kjell, I got this audio clip earlier from another crazy Norwegian named Grimsrud.)

Default You will notice that she is not under an Audi.

Sheesh ! You drive up onto the sidewalk on one side and keep the other in the street. Plenty of clearance.

Default Yup. I just had my wife's explorer in for a wheel bearing and brake pad replacement.

They "strongly suggested" that I have all 4 rotors cut and an alignment.
The rotors were fine and I had an alignment about 15K ago when I put the new tires on.
