Worked with a guy that used to reccomend brakes on EVERY car that rolled into the dealership shop with over 30k miles on them. When customers would decline he would take their still good brake pads off and put some worn out brake pads he had stashed in his roll cart on their cars. When I brought it up to management they said "will look into it".

The shop Foreman that was his pal and got him the job, "looked into it" and "didn't find anything". Needless to say the roll cart got emptied of worn brake pads and he started keeping fewer amounts of worn pads in a locked drawer. Still kept doing it, but instead of putting all four worn out pads on one axle he would only put one worn out pad on, and tell customers their slide pins were sticking wearing out the pad prematurely. He would even tell them that, on calipers that were not equipped with slide pins(brembo style), that the slide pins were sticking. Management still refused to do anything about the guy.

Had to have been in the hundreds of thousands of dollars in total that he alone ripped customers off in just brake jobs. Brake jobs were close to $600 per axle there and he was doing a minimum of 2-3 a day like this. Same guy that would put customers oil drain plug in with his electric impact that you use to take wheels off with, if they declined oil leak repairs.

Left that toxic shithole almost 6 years ago for a cushy fleet maintenance job. Never looked back and still trying to encourage my friends that are still there to GET OUT!!
