Took my F250 to the Ford Service dept since it needed a front end alignment (uneven tire wear). Had them do an oil change since it was due and we were heading out on a 5 day vacation.
They rotated the tires, but didn't reset front and back pressure. They didn't reset oil dashboard reminder. So, kinda irritated.
They also said my brake pads are down to 5%. This was after the service. Well, OK. I'll get that fixed after the trip.
Today I had front and rear pads in hand. Blocked wheels. Setup air compressor. Tools out. Looked and looked for my pad compressor, had to settle for c-clamp.
Jack the truck, put in Jack stand. Removed the wheel. Searched for the security nut adapter. Found it and removed last nut. Wheel off.
And then I pull the pads. Hmmmmm. Those don't look too bad. Check the new pads. Huh?
Needless to say, there is more than 50% pad left. I put the old ones back in and I'm returning the new pads.
WTF?!? That is fraud, straight up. I'm glad I didn't just take it someplace. My regular mechanic for the BMW wouldn't have done this.
I feel like that scene in Pulp Fiction. "What does Marcellus look like?"
