OCR Text: Gemini Flash 1. Drive It as Little and as Gently as Possible If you have to drive to local clients, leave plenty of extra distance between you and the car in front. Avoid hard or sudden braking, as heavy friction creates heat, which makes warped discs warp even further and vibrate worse. Let the car coast to slow down naturally whenever it's safe. 2. Ask the Recommended Mechanic About "Payment Options" When you text him for the quote, be upfront! Some independent garages use services like Payment Assist or Bumper, which allow you to split the repair bill into 4 interest-free monthly payments (e.g., instead of paying £300 upfront, you pay £75 today and £75 for the next three months). It doesn't cost you anything extra, and it's a lifesaver when you're caught short. 3. Check if It's Just One Axle Make sure you aren't paying to do the whole car. If the pedal is vibrating, it's almost always just the front discs. Confirm with the mechanic if you can get away with only doing the fronts for now to cut the bill in half. Take a deep breath—you know what the issue is, you're being safe by keeping it local, and there are ways to manage the cost. Do you want to try texting him just to see what the number is and if he offers a payment plan?
