When Phoenix Saab Croydon serviced the car in 2008, they stated the following work was required:
- O/S inner and outer gaiters leaking grease - requires new kit and reseals - £225.87
- Rear shoes require inspection and rear pads remove and deglaze - £119.85
- Front pads 50-60% worn and disks lipped - £382.60
Total work required - £728.32
I've just had the car MOT'd by Kwik Fit. Their service was excellent and..... guess what...........
- The gaiters were fine, although one needed a new metal clip, which they did for free!!
- Rear disks and pads fine - now work needed!
- Front disks and pads replaced - £195. Moreover, Kwik Fit give a lifetime guarantee on the pads, which means I'll never have to buy another set of front pads for that car!!
So, of the £728.32 quoted by Phoenix Saab, only the front brakes needed work, meaning that £345.72 was a total rip-off and instead of paying £382.60 for the front brakes, I paid about HALF that - only £195 with Kwik Fit.
Unbelieveable isn't it..........? What a bunch of total rip-off merchants!! £728 versus £195 - can you believe it?
My advice is simple - don't go use Phoenix Saab Croydon unless you can afford to pay vastly more than necessary and are prepared to be charged for work that doesn't need doing.
You shouldn't drive a Saab then you fat, ugly, worthless piece of inadequate shit. You must have a really little dick to have to do this shit ;) I pity your ugly wife.
