    That's why I don't mind paying £600 to get my brakes done. I always say this but you can't put a price on your family's safety.

    It's one expensive Honda you've got.

    Took it back today and they checked it all over ...no damage....got written confirmation. Next time I'll ignore any discount offers and just take it to my usual mechanic !

    I would not put much faith in their check or guarantee.

    At best ... their incompetence will have reduced the life of your new pads and discs.

    You live and learn. :beer:

    That's more than your Yaris is worth I'd have thought. Should be half that with only half the brakes to do anyway.
