Simple Maintenance Items........
Discussion
When I say simple, not simple enough for me to want to get involved and do myself, but last service my wife was advised her car needed brake pad replacement, and new battery. I was away on business, and she said she would speak to me before she booked it in.
I admit I can't really be arsed to check the pads, although if bored over the weekend I may take a look.
However the battery is simple, and I stuck a multimeter on it last night, and it is fine. Also never had any issues with battery to date. So this won't be replaced, and has got my back up a bit, and I don't really want to give the car to dealer (Chevrolet) to do the pads, if this is how they are going to act. I think it was AED 1000 cost - for pads all round, fitted. I am used to haemorrhageing money over here now, so I thought "That's not too bad!".
So what do you guys (that can't be arsed to do yourselves) do for consumables like this? Main Dealer, or Local independent?
If the latter, who do you recommend?
