Some of you will have seen, embedded in another thread somewhere(!), that I was somewhat surprised to need new disks on the rear of her Macan last month.
Anyway, the after-sales manager contacted me to see if everything was ok.
I said I was somewhat surprised that the disks needing doing as well as the pads - tbh I was surprised the pads needing doing after only15k miles too and I was in the middle of something so just told them to do what needed doing.
He has come back and admitted they made a mistake and has refunded me the cost of the disks plus £100 g/will
I didn't ask for this so all credit must go to him for being honest and putting matters right
This is Mid-Sussex as many of you know that is who I use.
Fair play to them, but hope someone got a roasting for doing it in the first place!
Sadly, there are many a folk that wouldn't have even thought about questioning it, they just trust the garage doing the work (as they should)

Lets see, two Porsche's worth well over £150k when new, 2 years old and coming up to time to swap maybe, let me think why you might get better treatment that the average punter
Ha ha
Funny you should say that
These ones are staying but at a partners meeting last week we thought we should look green and we are talking about buying 8 Taycans to run through one of our companies.
They don’t know this yet !
Yeh me too!
It'll take me a while to drink them - but it's cheaper to buy in bulk!
Oh! Sorry! "8 Taycans"
I read it as "Eighty cans"
