Preplexed: Brake pad replement
want to share an incident..
just 1000 KM After my gold service from Castrol Bike zone, today I felt, my P150 is not showing best front disc braking. In wake of ride planned on long weekend ahead went to castrol bike zone and asked them to check it.
after checking it, they told me, its completely gone and need replacement. strange they didn't pick it up while last servicing. could have given me a warning that its about to go.
Anyways, got it changed. took less than 60 seconds to replace it. bill read something like:
1. Brake pads: 138 Rs.
2. service 75 Rs.
Well, replacing it took less than 60 seconds (they claimed their skill).. and refused to reduce the labour charges..
hey, does the part replacement generally is charged almost 50% of the part's cost with replacement taking less than 1 minute.
I am going to my local mechanic for any part change from next time. Though i will buy it from Bajaj spares first.
