Took car in today-New Pads and front discs and a charge of £238.42 -Rang the service manager unavailable. Rang Skoda Service no reply.

I have had company cars from the VW group that have done 56,000 miles with no probklems-Auto Express rank Skoda Octavia 4th in there survey and brakes 7th inthere list.

20k miles isn't bad from pads, but for discs to also need chan ging would suggest not being run in properly.

£238 is quite steep for front pads & discs -
