Right, , every time I brake my car makes a grinding noise so I'm guessing I've worn my brake pads down without realising.
Im taking the car to the garage later (even though I doubt its safe to drive) but don't want to get ripped off. Anyone know how much theyre likely to cost?
Car is a Ford Fiesta Zetec (T Reg if that makes any difference).

None of them would quote me until they can look at the car. I think its because I mentioned there were funny noises coming from it. How much is too much to pay though? |

bit dodgy not having a quote before hand, id say no more than £60 which would still be a bit expensive

Kwik Fit arent mechanics they are fitters.
In fairness even I could fit some Brake pads so I shouldnt worry to much.
