Had a chat about that and they seemed to be in the loop about the dangers and process for replacing the pads. They have the VCD gizmo to read the diagnostics apparently they have a standing charge of £35 if you just want your diagnostics read, but if you ask nicely they will do it for free.

I've picked the car up and the electric parking brake is working fine and the pads have been replaced. So no issues so far. Driven about 6 miles.

Seems up my way in Lincoln they are going to completely refurbish the Kwik Fit, glass viewing rooms, leather sofa's, replacing all the ramps and fittings. Also putting in camera's into all the bays with monitors in the viewing area so you can see what they are doing. Going to be shut for a month whilst doing it.
