Supra was just serviced at toyota and ...

[escortman]

ok so a couple days before i picked up the supra it had a oil/filter and brake service at toyota.

now the reciept says front pad kit and front disk machine but the car has a brake shudder under heavy breaking

what im wanting to know is can i take it back to them even though im the new owner? if not ill do it myself but if theyr at fault they should have to fix it no matter what?

i think whats happened is that beause the discs look almost new they haven't bothered machineing them completely or something like that

[sergei]

You have the receipt, just come in there and complain, who cares who is the owner. Also before you do anything re-torque your wheel nuts, that might alleviate shuddering. Saying that I believe toyota disks are not machinable, and they are too skinny and warped now.

[Mr. Mainstream]

screw it. take it back in with receipt,wave it around point and make noises.
One of my escorts came with a headunit/speakers proff installed with receipt from old owner, i took back to the old place and was sorted.
they wont remember faces

btw is there a rule of thumb to knowing when drums are getting on?

[FLAWLES]

come back on workman ship
you paid for a service and that service is not up to the task

you have every right to,
most morden service histroy list's licence plates for info so they can type that in and bring up all the info

they cant re charge you either, they will be very very checky if they did

[Adamal]

Which dealership?

[Prymal]

If you get stuck , and need to replace the rotors and pads yourself , pop me a PM , ill see how i can help you out brakes wise

[RunningRich]

Disks and pads are not the only causes of brake judder. Could be worn bushings or other issues.

Also depends whether last owner paid them to simply replace pads and disks or to fix a judder issue. Just becuase they replaced pads it does not mean they take all responsibility for the vehicle after that.

yeh i realise that but the fact it does it only under heavy braking but not low to med?
na it says on reciept replace worn front pads, pad kit, front disk machine and brake fluid

Not ABS kicking in?

[escortman]

thats what a mate suggested but im sure im not stomping on them that hard

[Scottie]

Might pay to try 'testing' the abs on a gravel/grass/wet road if unsure about what abs feels like. Quite noticeable.

[tomtom]

stop been a homo and jack it up an have a look..u could of done it by the time you write a novel on here

[BZG Wagon]

How do you know the previous owner didn't warp the brakes? Customary 'last thrash' and all?

Toyota care about their reputation so they'll probably sort it for you, especially if you complain loudly enough.

But IMO the previous owner should have contacted or taken it straight back to Toyota if there was a problem. Or you should have contacted the previous owner to get it sorted when you picked it up.

[THA SHZ]

a common problem that can happen when putting discs back together is that if they dont clean around the hub it can make the disc sit slightly askew , quite an easy fix , disassemble , clean with a wire brush and re assemble , if you are capable , might be an idea to do it yourself , then you know for sure .

[escortman]

yeh going to have a suss this weekend

[christopher j]

has it got aftermarket alloys? and if so, has it got locator rings?

[Zak]

I work at the Grey Lynn dealership, flick me a pm with the rego and I will find out what was done and see if I can get it sorted for you.

[escortman]

na running the stock 16s

[BlakJak]

I used to use Giltrap City in Grey Lynn all the time, never had any dramas, no doubt they'll sort it for you if you talk to them about it and provide receipt etc.

[BlakJak]

PS yes, old thread. did it get sorted?
