Long story short my front brakes broke so I had to get the pads and discs replaced but.. The garage also replaced all 4 brake hoses rear shoes and replaced all brake fluid without informing me so in result charged me around £577 all together for most work that I hadn't asked for as the parts cost around 200 it seems very extortionate for work that I didn't even ask for

1 question is this legal?...

Fucking rip off tossers! That's so out of order. Take them to the cleaners.

This is why I hate taking cars to garages, just out to rip people off a lot of the time.

Escort cosworth lol and yeh for parts on front pads and discs and labour would have been 200-300 it was the fact they changed everything else why the labour was so high and bled all the brakes and put new brake fluid even though mine was fine
