I just had my wife's car serviced and they did a full service and replaced front brake pads. After leaving garage I drove for less than
5 miles when the brakes failed completely! Luckily I was driving slowly in a side road so was able to slow down and stop before I hit the car in front of me. When I contact the garage who had serviced it they picked up the car and examined it and said that it was the brake pipe that had split and that it had nothing to do with them. They say they checked them as part of the service but there was no sign of corrosion or wear so they assumed they were ok but they said that they can corrode from the inside out and that I was just unlucky.Is this possible or are they just trying to get out of liability by making up this bullshit? I am considering taking legal action against them as, if this had happened on a motorway, my pregnant wife and I could be dead now.
