Turner & Whelan Motors

Decided to take the van there for its service as the garage is very local to me, and convenient in that respect. Courteous and nice to deal with all around. Service was done, nothing to report, oil seemed fresh and Im assuming filters were changed, etc. They changed a brake caliper as they were at it. 75 part with extra labour, not going to break the bank and it needed to be done, but I would have appreciated a heads-up before they went ahead with the work. Picked up the van the next morning (as they still needed to bleed brakes) and was told new pads would need to bed in. The pads that were in before were less than 2 years old, but I didnt bother questioning that, the new ones were cheap enough. Throughout the next week, the brake pedal didnt firm up went all the way to the floor and I would have struggled to perform an emergency stop. Took the van back and asked for a fresh brake bleed. Picked I up again later, and it was no better, even though they claimed the opposite. I was given excuses along the lines of lines are long and reservoir is at an angle (it isnt). Ive since redone the bleed myself and my brakes are back to normal. Based on these things I cant say Im massively confident in their ability, unfortunately. It would have been convenient as a super-local place, but I think lll get back to the previous garage, who never fluffed up something so basic.
