 Badly worn brake pads. - Dog
My 05 Nissan Almera 1.8SE auto was serviced by the pain dealer last June @ 29,300m.
On the Technicians report they said front brake pads 70% worn.
The next service isn't due until June and I've only covered 5000m since the service.
I've just checked the pads and they're down to the metal.
You'd think they would/should have really changed them last time!
I phoned the service manager and suggested they should have been changed but he said
"In the present economic climate people are putting off work that needs to be done & I'd be surprised at the amount of cars they see that are almost deadly (brakes & tyres) and they have to get the owner to sign some bit of paper saying that they have been advised of that fact by the garage" ... !
Doesn't help me though, does it.
