Default f&*% mechanics

Went to get my brakes fixed, 500$ just to find that my rear suspension is tight as hell and i can feel every bump on the road... I dont think taking off the wheels and a rear brake alignment causes this... before i took it in it was smooth as can be...Can i fix this? whats wrong?

they replaced the calipers, rotors, brake lines,etc. for $500? that could have been done for less than half the price....doing it yourself isnt hard at all if you are somewhat mechanically inclined...

my buddy got his brakes fixed

did it start riding like that after they messed with it?
if so...
take it back and tell them that they have to fix it

Did they mention anything about your headlight fluid, or your computer having a virus??

Also forgot to mention, did they give a tube of KY after they fixed it?
