Do you need to go main dealer get brake pads changed on 2006 vw passat?
No, you do not need to go to the main dealer to have the brake pads changed on a 2006 VW Passat. While it is recommended that you always take your car to a qualified mechanic for any maintenance or repairs, you can also have the brake pads changed at an independent garage or even do it yourself if you are confident in your mechanical abilities. However, if you choose to have the work done by an independent mechanic, be sure to get a quote in writing before the work is done and ensure they are using quality parts.
