Stranded in Rancho Cucamonga

I just came back from Rancho Cucamonga after being "stranded" there overnight. KC and I went up there to see a friend. We took KC's car, which was recently serviced at a Midas. It got new brake pads, rotors, and calipers. When got to Corona, the front passenger side wheel made a God awful noise. KC took the wheel apart and found the caliper was missing a bolt that held the assembly in place. The bolt probably wasn't tighten and fell out. There was no damage to the car, but KC managed to tighten the lone bolt and it kept the caliper in place, as long as it wasn't used.

So, the car was driveable as long as KC used the emergency brake and not the foot brake. It was about 11 PM already. We drove to a 24 hour AutoZone and a WalMart to find a bolt. They didn't have the specific bolt, which apparently is only used for Asian cars, like a Honda. We got to Rancho where our friend was and stayed at his house since it was already midnight. The next morning, our friend drove us to Lowe's, Home Depot, and another AutoZone. No correct size bolt. Went to NAPA Auto Parts. They had the bolt, but it was slightly too long. Enough for it to rub against the rotor. So back to Lowe's for a washer. By 3:30 PM, 17 hours after the first sign of trouble, we finally got a temporary fix and drove back to Orange County. KC missed his morning classes and half a day of work. F*ck Midas.
