Man, you should just take your L and go. This is cringey.

I fly about 3-5 times per year on average, almost always domestically but I’ve flown internationally twice in the last year. I’ve never once had trouble parking, or reading a sign. It’s wild to think about the simple things some humans struggle over.

Most modern vehicles have electronic parking brakes. If you’re doing the rear brakes you usually need a scan tool to place the brakes into a “service mode” or to retract the calipers. Kind of annoying, but honestly any shop with a decent scan tool should be able to do it. Some vehicles (Mazda for one) have a manual procedure you can do that requires no scan tool at all. It definitely doesn’t have to go to a dealer, but at least another shop with the proper equipment.
