   I went to a garage today to get my whistles and whines checked out.
   
   Bloke jacks car up and basically looks around. Says theres fuck all wrong with it even though he heard the noises (cause I took him for a drive).
   
   He also heard my squealing from brakes when turning right, So he goes it looks like the copper grease has gone off your pads thats probably what it is.
   
   Next thing you know before I know it hes whipped out a can of wd 40 and hes spraying my fucking brake calipers ! I couldnt believe it.
   
   I immediately went the shop and got brake cleaner and laced my brakes completely.
   
   What a tard !

   No he did it for free and was polish I didnt know he was doing it. One minute he said you might want to try some brake cleaner. Then i turn round, Look back round n hes spraying wd40 on the calipers... Not the discs
   just the back of the caliper - He said to clean it, I was like your not meant to use that anywhere near brakes. His response was oh it will be fine, It will stop your squaling, I said yeh and my fucking brakes !
