  BE WARNED Dont trust the mechanic .My daughter took her car in for a service, they told her it had a rear wheel brake cylinder leak rh rear so we supplied them with a almost new set of wheel cylinders and brake shoes and drums to be fitted by them ,paid 180 per hour to them . we got the car back and it had a small shudder when we used the brakes, it never had this before . we booked it in again 7 days after we got the job done and they then told us the brakes where totally contaminated and everything needs to be replaced . I picked the car up and took the rear wheels and drums off to have a look .the right rear cylinder was still leaking they had not replaced the wheel cylinders that we had supplied , still dusty and dirty and not cleaned obviously not replaced I have pics if you want to look at them . so I went and showed them the pics and they said that they had fitted the supplied cylinders .they lie the truth is they didnt fit the cylinders and also the brakes where not contaminated .So I bought new cylinders fitted them and machined the drums which fixed the small shuddering feeling when you applied the brakes, perfect brakes now . the mechanic will lie and also the bloke at the front desk . I dont trust them .Im a retired mechanic
