Hi all, My car has been under warranty with Khang Auto for the last one year plus. Just 25000km ago, Khang Auto at Sin ming advised me to change the brake pads to my car. I willingly said ok (as it is a safety issue). Now, 25000kms later, I hear a squeaking noise whenver I brake the car. I am puzzled as to why the brake pads wear out so fast. I went to the authorised agent of the car (I did not go back to them as Khang Auto will void warranty if i service the car elsewhere) and they advised me that the brake pads have worn out! Throughout my driving career (though not very long, about 9 years now), I have not heard of brake pads wearing out so soon. For peace of mind, I went ahead to change the front and rear discs and brake pads with the authorised agent. After that,I wanted to clarify with Khang Auto if they actually changed the brake pads...and guess what the manager there told me..."I checked with my technician and brake pads normally wear out at 25000kms" This is really crap...I am not some F1 driver and I know that brake pads wear out around at least 40000kms. I cannot say for sure that Khang Auto did not change the brake pads for me...but I am highly suspicious of them. Please....just a warning that you patronise them at your own risk. And to think that they actually do this kind of job for a safety issue, it reflects on how they think for their customers.

any bros here has got the address and contact details for Khang's Auto Trans??? many thanx!
