A grinding noise during braking usually means your brake pads are worn down. Let me put it on the lift and inspect the brakes. The diagnostic is free.

刹车时有磨擦声通常意味着刹车片磨损了。让我把车升起来检查刹车。诊断是免费的。

About 15 minutes. I will give you a written estimate before doing any work. Have a seat in the waiting area — there is free coffee and Wi-Fi.

大约15分钟。做任何维修之前我会给你一份书面报价。在等候区坐一下——有免费咖啡和Wi-Fi。

You need new brake pads and the rotors need resurfacing. Parts and labor come to $280 for the front brakes. I can have it done in about an hour.

你需要换刹车片，刹车盘也需要打磨。前刹的零件加人工总共280美元。大约一小时能做完。

Let me hook up the diagnostic scanner and read the error codes. It could be anything from a loose gas cap to a bad oxygen sensor. We will know in a few minutes.

让我接上诊断扫描仪读取错误代码。可能是从油箱盖没拧紧到氧传感器坏了各种原因。几分钟就知道了。

It is showing a catalytic converter efficiency code. You have two options: replace the catalytic converter for about $1,200, or we can try a cleaning treatment first for $150 to see if that fixes it.

显示的是催化转换器效率代码。你有两个选择：更换催化转换器大约1,200美元，或者先试试清洁处理150美元看能不能解决。

Not entirely. The cleaning is still good maintenance for the engine. If you end up needing the replacement, I will credit $50 of the cleaning toward the converter job.

不完全是。清洁对发动机来说仍然是好的保养。如果最后还是需要更换，我会把清洁费中的50美元抵扣到更换费用里。
