Desert Driver Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 These boosters don't last forever, and when it's time for a rebuild you're left wondering who'll do the job? Such was the case on my '84. Even in Phoenix there was only one outfit who said they might be able to do it...provided I pull the booster and take it to their counter (wouldn't look at photos). So it was time for Plan B. Try Power Brake Exchange in Carson City NV if you're looking for a booster rebuild at a fair price that doesn't take weeks! They turn 'em in one business day, a little longer if you want powder coating. Excellent customer service and support. They even adjusted the push rod to the correct length to work with my master cylinder. 775-297-4795. As Willie would say...."On the road again", and with brakes that stop the way Mr Blake built the car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good information… could you give me a ‘ballpark’ idea of what Power Brake Exchange charges for a brake booster rebuild? (less shipping!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Driver Posted August 31 Author Report Share Posted August 31 I paid approx $25 to ship it to Carson City from Phoenix via UPS (insured the booster for $200). They rebuilt and shipped it back for a grand total of $175 and a few cents. Super fast..super service..and they don't farm the work out to a third party.
