Skoda did a good job! - Niall - 22-08-2012

Octavia went in for a service a little while back. As usual the lease company asked for any issues to be flagged to them so the works can be done.
Service was done and I was told it just needs a new tyre due to low tread. So today I take it to kwikfit for a new tyre and the guy comes back and says your going to have to leave it with us. Needs new discs, new pads all round, and 3 new tyres. 1 low and two with bulges on the back of them. How the hell can a garage miss that.
Since, I've had a look my self and he's right. Used a tyre depth gauge to measure the lip on the front discs......

Yes that's 3mm!

They probably didn't even take the wheels off...

Forgot to mention, they did the front pads on the service because they were low!

Oh then that's just retarded

I took my old car to peugeot for a service once (how thick am I, right?)

Fair play to them, they did actually replace the fuel filter, but they broke the fuel filter strap in the process. Main dealer, £180 service, they'll replace it with the £7 part, won't they?

No, the cheap f*ckers used a cable tie. Haven't been there since.

Holy crap, did it even use to stop with such little brakes?

Kwik fit doing something right?! It cant be?! But in all seriousness (i dont usually use big words but) a 3mm lip is appalling :/
