Hi guys,
Just looking for a bit of advice on a problem I have had with my Fiat 500 (it's 2 years old).
So, I had a problem where the gear stick was broken so it was in the dealership for to be fixed and at the time they all carried out a service as it was due.
I got my report back for the service saying all was fine and the brake discs were less than 20% worn (they had all been replaced this time last year).
Picked the car up and on the drive home (not far at all from the garage) I started to noticed a thudding noise when I was slowing down.
Booked it back in to the garage and they said the front brake discs were totally warped and replaced both them and the brake pads costing around £240.
I just don't think this makes sense! How can the brakes be fine when they do the service it and then warped when I pick it up?
They said it can be caused by excessive heat or dirt from the road, but it had been sitting in the garage for a good 3 days and I noticed the noise almost straight away when I picked the car up.
Unfortunately I don't know much about cars to try and argue my case, but feel like I am being rather ripped off here.
Any advice would be mega appreciated.
P.S I don't brake heavily or sit with my foot on the brake.
