XLR8 1st Gear May 13, 2008 Share May 13, 2008 went to servo for my 22.5k oil change this morning. Brought my own c*rlube and paid for the filter + labour $42. The mech also top-up radiator coolant (with water, of course) and power-steering fluid ..... foc ...... Actually I was looking for Dennis also but he went out. So ended up speaking to Philip. Told him about my brake squealing @ low speed ~ 15kmh. Anyone encountered this b4 ? He told me that it would cost $60 labour charge for that service which include removing all 4 wheels. That's fine with me but what he said next ...... he'll sand-paper the brake pads ..... Thought sand-paper of brake pads and disc is a no-no .... ? any comments anyone ? Bro, you should try other workshops. Serious. If you still insist on going back there then I help you sand the pads FOC. Ai mai? If still squeak then I apply cooking oil for you, confirm no squeak. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
