Default Re: Golf Cart Connection - Service

Well, GN......that's an interesting twist. I started another thread on golf cart wear items.

It was a clearly worn thru brake pad on the right rear wheel...to the point it was gouging the drum. They went ahead and replaced the pads on the left wheel too. Cost for 2 sets of pads, 1 drum, and labor was $149. However, on that other thread, several TOTV posters questioned how the brakes could have worn like this so quickly unless perhaps they were installed wrong to begin with. Of course, the service techs did not admit to this (I did ask them these same questions) and they claimed that yes, brakes can wear down in a year or two. So, maybe I got ripped off...very hard to prove and for $149 still not sure if it's worth pursuing any further.
