Brake drum service

Two year old Hyundai i10 does it require a Brake Drum Service ? Main dealer wants £60.00 for the work

Asked on 1 September 2013 by loopy lupo

Good idea to clean the dust out, yes. Done with an airline, but the rear wheels and brake drums have to be removes, so £60 is fair for about an hours work.
