70k service, but they also said I needed totally new brakes (pads and rotors). Since car comes off lease in month and a half, I just did pads. they said I was down to 2mm. I changed pads. |

I went to the Coquitlam Subaru dealership 2 days before for an oil change & asked them to o check the brakes since I heard a slight squealing noise; was told they were fine. Enroute to the ferry terminal my brakes started smoking - immediately after taking the ferry to Vancouver island I had an emergency brake replacement at the Nanimo BC dealership since I had another 2 hour drive North to go sea kayaking in a remote are. Couldn’t risk the chance of loosing my brakes completely. I’m still upset that the Coquitlam SubRu dealership didn’t take any responsibility for a false diagnosis. |
