Join the club Bri!! I had new brakes and tires put on my car last winter, and had to take it in to the shop on Monday to have a slow leak in one of the tires fixed. When the mechanic asked if my brakes were grinding, I told him they sure as heck better not be, or you can repair them for free since I've only put a few thousand miles on the car since the new ones were put on. Well come to find out, that the brake calipers are sticking and need to be replaced (they aren't part of a new brake job) - to the tune of almost $500. Merry Christmas car!

Just what you need at this time of year. If you had a neighbour who worked on cars as a hobby and for much less money you could go that route but I guess not every neighbourhood has these handy guys. We're lucky enough to have one of them and while we have our regular garage for maintenance and stuff he does come in handy for so many things. Sometimes will just trade off the work for a favour he needs, now there's a good deal for both sides.
He loves doing body work too so he does our son's and daughter's cars if they happen to get a dent or what not.
I hope your part gets here quickly and you get it up and running again soon!
