I have had Kwik Fit fit brake pads to my car on several occasions. They are supposed to be free for as long as I own the car. However, it seems I needed new discs every other time I had the pads changed.
I last had them changed in 2013 with new discs again.
One of the rear brakes started leaking fluid.
I took the wheel off to have a look and discovered, to my horror, that the last time Kwik Fit fitted new pads they only put one pad on the wheel. The piston on the caliper had gouged the inside of the disc as there was no pad between it and the disc.
I will replace the pads and discs myself as I cannot drive the car anywhere.
What would have happened if they did the same to a front wheel?
I shall have to check them as well.
I am never going to Kwik Fit again
