Shocking really. You pay em good money and they do a shoddy job. If the pads need changed then the calliper and it's pistons need cleaned. Gradually the pistons get caked in crud and stop moving, they can also corrode, crud and corrosion can lead to lead to piston seal failure. Experts? Shoddy shoddy workmanship.
Perhaps what the dealer is doing is the minimum, knowing that you'll eventually come back in needing a full calliper strip and rebuild. So by doing the minimum now they can rip you off for a fortune later.
These guys are charging you top dollar for a crap job.
Or perhaps they are just bull shitting you, it's a good excuse for having forgotten to nip up the mounting screws - 'oh actually we never took em off'
Either way, I wouldn't be back there Lew.
I suspect as the service tech knew I was heading down to Sunny Spain with the FZ1 and unlikely to return as I live here now. The attitude has been sod it, very disappointed as over on the Z1000SX forum I have been singing there praises for a couple of years now.
