It’s not just fast fits unfortunately. I recovered a car to a garage in different part of the country. As I was unloading, the owner of the garage approached me carrying a pair of brake discs and pads. He had a customer with him. He asked my opinion of the pads and discs. The discs were fine, and the pads were about half to two thirds worn. I said that if the owner did a lot of mileage, I might have changed the pads, but if he didn’t, they would be o/k until the next service. The garage had recently serviced the vehicle and the owner had taken it to a main dealer shortly after for a recall. The dealer told the owner that they had done the recall, but said that on their general examination of the vehicle they found that the front brake discs and pads were ‘dangerous’, and that he should not take it away in this condition. The owner told them to put the vehicle right and he would complain to the other garage as it had just been serviced. As I say, I was independent in the matter and there was nothing wrong with these brakes.
