Brake Pad Replacements for my '05 WRX?

[Sijray21]

Anyway, I think I am going to meineke tomorrow (or soon) and confront them about this. What do you think is a good way to approach the issue? My brother ("ziich") warned me that they may try to scam me some more since I've just caught them in their lie. His suggestion was to bring a guy with me when I do go, I don't know if that's necessary but I guess I've never been in this situation before.

i wouldn't necessarily confront them about it, it might bring unnecessary hostility. i just would be very hesitant to use them as a shop again unless you go in detail with what you want done to your car. bringing a guy generally helps girls to not get scammed at shops, but make sure he's a little knowledgeable about cars. if not i'd just go up there with specific requests and ask them for your input/approval before they do any work on your car. as long as you are somewhat knowledgeable about the problem with your car and confident/specific with your requests i don't think you need a guy there with you. if you think the price is too much (which $225 seems like a lot for rear brake pad replacement) then ask for a breakdown of the cost. i did this a few times with shops where i found the price to be high and low-and-behold the price magically dropped.
