Personally, I woildn't let ANY tire/muffler shop anywhere near my brakes.

Your Hoses may look "raggedy", but still be OK. Check them for signs of bulging when a helper pushes hard on the brake pedal. If there's no bulging or swelling, I would say they are OK, but should get the same test every 6 months or so, at that age.

If they DO need replacing, look for a shop the works on Volvo, VW,or Audi, etc. The Asian metrics are different from European, so the Honda guys won't be as prepared to replace things on a Volvo.

I have no idea why you would need any additional 10mm nuts. The new brake lines should have what they need already on them. The nuts you speak of sound like the ones on the end of the copper lines, but those aren't replacable--you have to put in a whole new copper line. It's true that it's easy to bung up those nuts, but as long as you're careful, they'll come off eventually and go back on. I don't think they know what they're doing. good luck

By the above, I mean the flexible hoses need replacing, not any part of hard lines.
