Your ability to get £130 worth of pads out of them is virtually zero. You will sell or px the car before you get that many sets of pads fitted. It’s cynical marketing that rips off those who don’t know.
This is why their MOT test price is usually “on special offer”
Had my cars MOTed at Halfords in Southampton for the last 4 or 5 years. Never had a fail or any talk of work being required.
Why do I post, just to show not all bad
