Looking for Used Tires in Orillia
Sunday, August 19th, 2012We have Used Tires at Greg the Mechanic’s in Orillia
Used tires for a nice rim
With lots to choose from and great prices give us a call and see if we can help you save some money. A good used tire is better than a worn out bald one so if you need a single tire and don’t care if they don’t match give us a call. We also service rims change valve stems clean off that nasty crust that causes leaks all winter long and reseal with a rubber sealing compound that works great.
Resealing Rims
When the weather gets cold its no fun filling up your tires at the pay for air places we find at the self serve gas bars. Lots of times we see people with two set of rims and tires and over time they leak so we take them all apart give them a good servicing and balance giving you a leak free winter. We also install and balance tires for $60.00 yup bring your winter or summer tires in and for $60.00 we install and balance them change the stem if it need it and if the rim has a bit of crust build up we clean it up and if need on some of the older rims we need to use some bead sealer compound its always in stock.
Machining Brake Rotors
Saturday, February 18th, 2012We are asked all the time “is it worth machining my old brake rotors” our answer to this is yes!
Machining a brake rotor
In Orillia we machine brake rotors all the time on our FMC brake lathe we turn your rotors and save you money. When you own a full size truck like a Ford f150 or a 1500 series GMC or maybe a newer car with a pulsation and the rotors cost over a $100.00 or more why not spend $60.00 or so on pads $50.00 on machining $60.00 labour total $170…$200 on a front brake job and knowing it’s going to last 30 to 50 thousand kms only because this is the second time round for those poor brake rotors and brake calipers!
Some of the newer SUV for example a Dodge Journey the Brakes are only lasting for 40 or 50 thousand kms anyway and if you pulling a pop up trailer or something that number can be even lower. Here at Greg the Mechanic we have a good idea of what our customers would like us to do for them. We can save you some money and keep you safe!

Replace Seized Calipers
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010Calipers Apply the brake pads to the Rotors always being used getting hot and cold.
Its hard to say how long they last some people are easy on there brakes some people like to use there brakes and turn those rotors a bit blue no mater which one of these people you are a seized caliper has a couple of warning signs.
You might get some bad smells from the tire being affected, squeaking, pulling to one side, pad getting worn uneven or too quickly.
A bad caliper needs to be replaced its not a hard job on most cars, half hour each caliper would be plenty of time at Greg The Mechanic 
On many cars and trucks the brake hose is held in place by a steel bracket as seen in the photo.
Well I’m going to give you a tip RUST GROWS in these brackets and Blocks the Flow of brake fluid.
I have opened these brackets many times and found the caliper is not the problem but the rust growing on the bracket is so before paying for new calipers make sure the hoses work to supply those calipers with the fluid they need.
