Took my car into Halfords yesterday for pre-booked MOT. Received a phone call nearly 3 hours later to say it had failed due to the brakes. Quoted me £201 as they said brake pads and discs in front needed to be replaced before mot could be issued. My husband took the car to our normal garage today who showed him the brakes did not need doing especially as I only do about 3000 miles p.a. There was at least 80% wear left on the pads, and although the one disc was slightly pitted it was not needing replacement as the pads could still be used normally. My garage passed the vehicle with a note to say the breaks did not require changing yet. Halfords, what a "rip-off" you are!! How many other women to you try to 'con' in order to meet your sales targets?
