    When you catch the owner Comoros 2 counts of insurance fraud, and suspect him of tax evasion, It's time to leave. Went back to Schwab two years ago..... I will not go to jail because of some other idiot....

    $56.25 for front only, $83.50 for all four. Mk4 and newer vw require shims for the rear, we do not charge extra for the shims.
