Kwit-fit or Kwit-fleece??
During the major service last year, I was told that the rear brake pads of my Audi were 80% worn out while the Discs were OK and no complaints on the front brakes. So I sent it to Kwit-fit (KF) in Woking last Saturday to get them changed. I left the car with KF, and they said they would check all brakes and tell me what jobs need to be done even though I told them it were only the rear pads. I thought no harm with the extra checks, since they were free anyway.
I got a call an hour later and was told that all four discs and pads need changing! What the H*… (Blimey! for Brit). They said the rear discs were heavily corroded while the front were under legal limit. They wanted to charge me £480 all together with £240 for each side. I was in total disbelief and told them to put everything back together without changing anything.
Couple days later, I got a local car service contact from Johnny, the guy I met in the church. Booked the chap for Saturday (yesterday) to work on the brakes. He came around yesterday, did the job in the parking lot. In the end, he only changed the rear pads as all others are OK. Total of the job was only £65!
