A month ago i had new pads and discs allround on my civic, all done at a Honda garage.

Ive justhad to get the AA to take my car back to the garage because one of my brakes has worn down to meta from new.

It has gone to a different Honda garage and they said that they wont replace under warranty because they are not Honda parts, and that the brake failure was caused by the parts not being Honda parts. That the compound on the pad failed.

I Had prevously had a check done on the brakes at kwik fit, and they suggested that it was the calipers.

The question i have is, should the 1st Honda garage have used none genuine Honda parts and secondly, is the 2nd Honda garage palming me off and forcing me to pay for new pads and discs so they dont have to replace the calipers?

Thanks for any advice in advance.

I would go back to the first Honda garge with the info from the second and the info from kiwk fit, maybe get it writing either way I thought they would be in the wrong

To wear in a month is defo an underlying problem,sounds as if the calipers sticking!is it both sides or only one?

just finished on the phone with both 1st and 2nd garage, seems they have joined sides and im stuck.

As for the pads, it was only 1 pad on one side. They are now saying, that this one pad was a lot older than all the others. But i had it done at a mates garage, and i helped him do it, so i know for a fact that they were all new.

I might have to get up close and personal to sort this out.

Also, they are now saying the discs are genuine parts. Is there a part number on the discs i can check to confirm this?

take it away from the dealer and diy again but make sure everything is moving as it should

Im confused i thought honda did all the pads and disks?

Im puzzled now also.i thought Honda done them? Anyway if its one pad its prob a seized piston in the caliper

I just got off the fone to honda grantham, I asked for rear pads for an FN2- they asked me

"whats an FN2? is that a bike?"

if i was you mate i wouldnt stay clear of honda and kwikfit.

do it yourself

yeah sorry for confusion, the pads on the rear were replaced a few months ago, now honda replaced the discs and cleaned up the pads that were on, that i had replaced.

Anyways the pads have now been replaced again, but by honda, and the scored and gouged discs remain on the car, apparently this is ok. Their words not mine. I honestly hope they fail again so i can take them to the wall.
