Jun 2, 2020 · I took my car to get the tires rotated last week and they found a dead rat in my brakes. They told me I needed to take it to a mechanic to get my brakes “cleaned out.” Long story short, I’ve tried taking it to 3 places and they all gave me the run around so I figured I’d just google it and do it myself.

Mar 7, 2010 · When I took my 07 Mini to the dealer for a routine oil change and to check why the engine warning came on, they told me that a rat had eaten the wires, causing the warning light to come on. I drove down and looked at it myself. Yuck! Droppings and yes, chewed through wires. It’s going to cost me $800 to repair.
