Car came into work 2 day the guy who own it was complaining about noise from the brakes, he has just had new pads and discs put on by another garage, and when i took the wheel i got a shock some dopey sod had put the brake pads on rong way round so the metal bit was touching the disc i coudnt beleive it.

 

did he not wonder why he couldn't stop?

 

That is shocking. Talk about putting somesones life at risk

 

yea he did look a bit pale when he pulled up

 

PLEASE tell me he went to trading standards or at least got the boss involved before they kill someone?!!?

 

 

How are some people still actually living? I mean, with that level of intelligence, how have they made it though life far enough to have got to the stage where they can be allowed to fit stuff to cars??!?!?!?!!?

 

Deffo some cowboys about

Thats why i do most of the work on my cars myself

imagine it was your wifes car that she takes the kids to school in....i would have went mantal

 

so who was the garage..Name and shame.

You never know the next person might not be so lucky!!!!

 

You will be supprised by just how often this actually happens. Seen it loads of times!!!

 

Thats shocking, i remember a certain member of this board doing it when he fitted his ap's to his escos










I wont say who it is tho...............................





















ok it was wenny

 

 

Its ok he diddnt actually drive it like that, well not too far

 

deffo name and shame the peeps who did this to someone elses car though, especially if its a garage

 

Seems like the type of thing I would do... But at least I know to stay away from cars.

 

 

never heard that happening before but

i know a fellow learner of mechanics with me one day put copper slip on the face of the pad but that was spotted before he put them in the calipers but it was still a from the bloke who caught him doing it

 

it was 2 Jays Autos in Dagenham. I couldnt beleive but dont no what they were thinking come on the person wants to be mechanic work with cars and they let a car go out on the road like that would think they would of noticed when drove the car out of the garage

 

Seen that loads, even get it now and then on our trucks at work , there is no place for incompotance (sp) in the workshop especially HGV side.

truely shocking

 

i seen a friend do it to his cosworth aswell

 

If the person crashed and killed himself (or someone else) they would be down the shit pan

 

this is why the motor industry is under so much pressure to introduce licencing!!!
