Confession number 1:
I normally get my brakes done at Kwik-Fit. Yes, there are plenty of horror stories, but my local is very good, plus they will replace your pads free of charge every time they wear out for the lifetime of the car. This is a good thing, because…
Confession number 2:
I murder brakes. Not because I’m evil, I just seem to get through them quick.
At the last MOT, was informed that the pads were getting low. This time, I thought, I’ll do them myself. After all, I’m self-employed now, I can make time for these things. So I ordered some nice EBC Green Stuff pads from the MGOC, full set. After all, their prices are good and I can afford the extra quality as I’ll be doing it myself.
Confession number 3:
So they sat there, in the garage, waiting to be fitted. And waited. And every time the weather was good enough to work on the car I was busy. And every time I could fit the job in, it rained.
So, in the end, for a small cash backhander, a local tyre place popped them on for me. So, all in all, probably worked out about the same price as Kwik-Fit. But these come in a sexy shade of green.
