good experience at the dealership

I had my ss brake lines installed by dealership last night, and I was charged only $100 plus they washed and vacuum my car - good deal for a change

good deal- an hours labor~ most shops get that just to flush the brake fluid!

To be certain the job was done all the way-
per the shop manual- go do 2 ABS active stops from 45 mph, stop and get back to speed- stop fully again
If 2nd stop had firmer pedal there was air trapped in the ABS- rebleed brakes and it will be fine
Dealer should have done this on test drive or been able to cycle the abs while on the lift with special tools- but I never trust anyone when it comes to my brakes!
Test them and be sure
ABS active means both feet mashed on brake pedal causing it to shake/pulse under your feet
May need wet road and turn the steering wheel while braking -like you would to avoid an accident ahead... that should make the ABS pump work and push any air out
When the lines are disconnected its easy for air to get in there

DIYers be sure to do this 2 stop test if the lines are removed for any reason
