They haven't admitted anything. The parts were offered as a goodwill gesture, which means that there is no acceptance of liability or even that there is a problem.

IMO the dealer is not taking the problem seriously - he just thinks that Roch is being 'difficult'.

If it were me I would be making the point that there is no logical reason why the hubs and drums should suffer with surface oxidisation.

Every other component on the car is protected from rust. Why does it not matter when it comes to the hubs?
