a class 38k service

[chris beard]

I recently had my 07 a150 serviced i was told that although it was only a minor service the technician decided to check spark plugs which were faulty so i had to renew them. Is it usual for spark plugs to only last 38,000 miles? Also why did the mechanic check them on a minor service? On the same service i was told the rear brake pads were 95% worn asgain is this unusual i would have thought rear brake pads would last longer! Have i been ripped off?

Right for the plugs not so long ago they only lasted 12k miles!
wrong for rear pads................
I would expect to see the old consumeables in the boot of the car on return?
other wise how can u check whats been done..............
