I know they are going to want to have me take the car to them but if what they said is not correct they shouldnt use blatant lies to get more work - especially when they know me very well!
Thats a load of lies its completly untrue. It can only affect the warenty on your brakes but since as Fred said there wear and tear there not covered anyway. Might be worth ringing Renault UK to inform them of the dealership misselling products.
£600 is a joke for brake change.
£80 for new front disks £40 or so for pads.
£50 for rear disks and about the same for pads.
So for well under £250 you can have a new brake setup including new fluid.
Brakes are very easy to change.
Usualy the rear brakes and pads dont need changing the rear brakes do very little the pads are only 6mm thick from new so even if there very low there probably only 50% worn.
