Default Breaks keep getting air in them

Not too sure whats wrong with them, but i had new pads and discs fitted and ever since my breaks have gone from fine to no braking power at all within a few hours.

I took the car back to the garage and they bled the breaks, and then a few hours after they failed again just at the wrong time and my car has slid into a curb and it looks like the rear axel has been bent.

Just wondering if anybody has any idea what is wrong with the breaks, and is the garage responsible for not picking up on it and fixing it.

Yer well sounds like there could be some damage on the lines or they ent got a clue about bleeding brakes. Take back and tell them that they have to fix it all as they brakes are not working.

Only thing you can do mate is go back and say to the garage about it.. just stand your ground. Say to them you could have been killed from a repair the garage were meant to have sorted

Your car can be repaired mate so better that than your life but its still a hassle for you

Best of luck anyway

For new discs and pads they shouldn't have even touched the hydraulics.

Brand spankers will need bedding in over a week or so's normal driving. They'll always feel pretty crap at first.
