My Father (78 y/o) took his Executive Commodore to Holden for a Service, he then gets a phone call through the day asking him would he like to have his brake pads replaced as the old ones were worn.
He replied yes, while the car is up there you may replace them. Thank you for letting me know. He picks up the car in the afternoon and drives home, I get home from work and he showed me a cardboard box that they had left in the back on the floor. Opened it up and it was the old brake pads, Then had good look at them and there was heaps of meat left on them, took em round and showed me Panel beater mate who then told me they weren't even half worn. Told dad to go back up there and ask to speak to the service manager and ask him what the go was in replacing brake pads that seemed to look okay, which he did. He was given and apology and was told he would only have to pay cost for the new pads. Jeez thanks. |
