What line blew, the one from the front to the back can be a pain in the a##,  if it was a front line it shouldn't be to bad

the one that goes to the junction block or the one that goes from the junction block to the front right tire.
I would normally do the repair myself but its cold and snowy out and i dont have a heated garage...

My Dad's shop is on the corner of Brookfield and Burleigh in Brookfield (where Burleigh starts). Griswold Automotive. I definitely recommend them, but I'm a bit partial. Prices are very competitive and they do good work.

Best of luck.

Sorry to hear it. They're usually booked 1-2 weeks in advance for a large portion of the year. That pretty much sums up what their customers think of them Been in business almost 70 years. My Grandpa started it and my Dad and Uncle took it over. I started there unofficially in '93 and officially left in '00. I regret leaving every day. Family politics.

Keep em in mind in the future  They're honest and they don't bullshit or rip people off. I'm damn proud of that.

i had a brake line split on wednesday morning, with a road trip planned thursday. 02 suburban, split on top of the rear axle, passenger side. Just replaced that section from the axle to the caliper. $11 parts, $70-ish labor. I too don't have a garage, and needed it rtfn.

Have any of you ever changed the brake fluid?  I know its not a glamorous job, nor even fun. The stuff is hygroscopic, and will cause steel brake lines to rust from the inside out.
