Our garage say they'd need to investigate why the brakes are not braking evenly on each side of the car. It nearly failed the MOT based on this. I can't recall off the top of my head, but our car had a problem of uneven braking at about 23% when the fail level is 24% apparently (I'm no expert) The garage was coy about how much the investigation and fixing would cost. They don't give much away.
If they want you to pay for investigation then ditch this so called garage and start using someone reputable.
Its possibly
1. Your "garage" has been telling porkies or being "creative" to generate business (common with some MOT examiners)
2. It requires something adjusting e.g. a brake cable
3. It requires pads/shoes replacing or maybe discs
Go into a kwikfit if you must and ask for a free brake examination - again ask for a written quote for required.
Let us know what they say.....
