I come here you share one of my experiences that I found really amazing about engineering controls and their results.
It turns out that I changed my car last year and I had to send him for the first time a technical inspection "new version" because they are now deeper and more expensive too at the same time!
As in my usual, I went a week earlier to make a little checkup on my car doing my oil change at Midas. I like the formula proposed by Midas, because in addition to simply drain you, they also conduct a comprehensive review of your car for an acceptable price (at least for one that is closest to me). I also know that my city is working honestly without charging the client unnecessarily. Result
this small balance air conditioning was in charge, the rest was good. Here I am, therefore, part peace of mind, the following weekend at Auto Azur, to pass the roadworthiness of my car. Result: damage to the brake pads with wear on the discs but not requiring a visit cons. The employee says that I need to change the pads but could not really tell me how long or under miles and he told me that I should change disks the next time. So here I distributed this morning at Midas. I told them that visit revealed the technical control, I was told it would be desirable to change my brake pads. The mechanic looks at me even more surprised that he remembered my last visit and he remembered having a positive report on the status of my car. He watches my back wheel and said "Oh no, I can confirm that your brake pads are still in very good condition since they are as big as my finger. Your hard just a little scratch. We had well-measured platelets by removing the last time the wheel. They do not like to roadworthiness! Do not worry, you're not the first to whom it happens! They always try to find something to roadworthiness. Here, your inserts you can still make about 30 000 km !!!". On the humorous, he said, "I'm sorry but I will not be able to mechanics on your car today!".
Economy: 60 to 90 €! Like what, it's good to have it checked by a mechanic things honest and conscientious rather than seeking to change right away what you have been advised to change! I remain convinced that had I been in another garage, I would have changed my platelets without trying to understand. Ah, those mechanics, you really have to sort out! Be careful about the balance of your next technical inspection ...
