Just had 5th annual service (200 pounds) at Honda Chiswick. Got a phonecall from service centre, saying that the front and rear brakes were 80% and 90% worn, need change disks and pads. Parts prices are 760 pounds + 136 pounds labour. Finally got it down to 500 for the job, not very happy, still feel been ripped off.

Ask for the pads and disks and go with them to collect the items.
Take them to your local friendly tyre place and have them check for you.

Holly molly thats crazy prices!!! Thought Honda had a fixed price on the brakes i know its only the pads but ive been told 105 for rear pads.
Just to note aswell i had a service last jan and wa told the rears were 80% worn yet a year on still going well.

It's a kown dealer scam because they know a lot will say yes out of panic... I was told mine were 90% worn at the rear once and they wanted £285!
Checked them myself and they were only 20% ish.... Will never go back the that dealer (in Enfield)
As for asking for your pads, do you actually think they will give yours back and not a crusty set kept just in case someone tries to be smart

I'd just change them myself. Probably one of the easiest things you can do on a car. Honda quoted £250. I bought the pads and discs for £77.

Our daughter was caught twice for pads and disks on her Volvo V70 and Freelander, so when the cars were going in for servicing, I would mark them before and I would tell the guys that if new parts were needed - I wanted to see the originals.As for asking for your pads, do you actually think they will give yours back and not a crusty set kept just in case someone tries to be smart

Usually not, but on the other hand you usually don't need to change them often either. Perhaps once or twice in the life of an average car?
