Hey,
So my h3 went over 50,000 last week so i took my vehicle into my local tune-up shop for the 50k tune up ( oil change, both diff's, transmission fluid, tire rotation )
so guy seemed super cool said he would check on the tranny and diff's to make sure they actually needed changing, he sounded like a straight up guy ( although i figured he would end up saying i needed the work, and he was being sly about trying to seem concerend for my $$)
so yes he did end up saying i needed the tranny and diff's done which i was prepared to do and so i said ok.
then i when i go to pick it up he says - oh and your front brakes, the pads or cracked and severly worn, and the front rotors are now bacly gorooved. i can do all this for $$$$$ but i need to order parts.
I say no thanks, ( i always do my own brakes anyway)
sure enough Rotor is in 100% perfect condition, brake poads at abouit 30-40% of wear, not cracked or anything, everything just fine. the pads are slotted, so maybe he thought is was a crack? doubt it !!
so yea he ened up being a slime ball, I am going to bring the pads to him and show him !!!!
oh and WOW the easiest brake pads to change ever !! how awsome !! why dont all brake pads just slide out like that,, took me about 10 times longer to do the wives Audi TT
