Sales pressure used here, nothing new sadly, whether it was unscrupulous is open to debate.
You know now you should have simply taken the failure on the chin, got a quote from them for fixing and driven away, then found other quotes and decided who to give the work to.
Don't dwell too long on it, the job is done, you might have got it done cheaper elsewhere but probably not much cheaper than you might imagine (unless you do the work yourself), the biggie of course is did it really need new discs or would the caliper have been ok with a bit of working and lubing.
On that note, the reason calipers seize (and that's the usual reason for one pad wearing faster than the others) is lack of proper brake servicing, but for that purpose you either need a skilled caring mechanic or do the job yourself.
The good thing is that you'll never need to darken their doorstep again, so whilst you might think they've made some dosh out of you, i suspect that's the last penny they'll ever see from you or anyone else you know...they arn't alone of course, one very large company i won't name is about to lose a multi £million per year contract because they've had the customer/supplier relationship reversed for some time now, seemingly under the impression they were doing the customer concerned a favour by supplying them goods, those responsible can review their attitudes at leisure as they peruse the situations vacant sites.
