Inside was an invoice from the dealership from the service center. On it it stated "Declined f/t brakes at 1mm". After the 500+ quote from Midas for the repairs and such, I showed it to them and they confirmed that that means they knew the brakes were bad and had not replaced them. This is of course after I asked three times when the brakes had been replaced and was assured they had been replaced in the last couple months. So I went in and refused to speak with anyone but the GM, he was in a meeting so the sales lead guy comes out and I explain that I felt like I had been deceived and taken advantage of and here was the quote from Midas. I told them this is what I want done because we have a serious problem. They left to go talk to the GM and then came back. They said we will replace the rotors and brakes and check the rear ones. I said the brake fluid is filthy and I want that flushed as well. So they came back with the paperwork to have the pads replaced, the brakes serviced, fluid flushed and the brake rotors resurfaced. I said I want them replaced, he said if they have a problem they will be replaced so I am going to get that in writing when I take it in and I want premium parts because thats what Midas quoted me for. So they are going to call me to come in to have that done, sometime this week.
I am mad, I will be less mad when this is all fixed and the car is running smooth.
Also, how does resurfacing rotors work and is it a sketchy pathetic fix? Should I just demand new ones? I need to know what I want from them, I know I want nice ceramic pads but I dont know about the rotors. Thanks.
