An Inland Empire, California based mechanic was left at an impasse after a Honda driver requested he change her brakes.

Upon seeing the condition of her brakes and the type she wanted them replaced with, the auto tech, Rick (@rowdy.rick3) didn’t want to complete the job. He explained why he opted to not take the payday in a video he recorded while on the service call in question.

The Honda Duralast Brake Swap That Wasn't

“What’s up, guys? So, I’m at a location now. This lady hit me up, said she needed brakes, right?” Rick says, kneeling on the ground and speaking into the camera.

“I get here; I’m looking at the brakes; the brakes are like brand new. So, I took the wheels off just to check. This is the pad: look,” he says, holding it up to the lens. While doing so, he begins pointing out aspects of the pad that indicate it’s in perfectly good condition.
