I don’t think $200 for four pistons is expensive, but I’m used to Oldsmobile stuff and race-bred 427 Chevy, too. Buy new ones, ask the grandson his thoughts while staring at him straight in the eyes. If he apologizes, you know where you stand......if he balks, you know where you stand. I’d explain your long-term relationship and your possible loss in currently trusting the shop. I’d start asking around and have a back-up plan in place should you need it.
They are cool cars and glad to hear it will once again see some duty!
