Bob, it's not that big of a deal to change rake pads--Get on the meritor web site and it will explain what to do and how to adjust brakes.  I did my back ones this past spring --plan to do the front this spring.  I took front and rear apart and cleaned, lubed adjusted brakes then added helper springs.  I'm slow I think I worked on it for parts of 4 or 5 days

Finally got it fixed!  I experienced the same problem after the 3rd visit to A1 Diesel.  I then I decided to take the coach to Horn Truck in Mobile, Al.  Immediately after they removed the right wheel the problem was evident.  In February 2019 I paid A1 Diesel 1500.00 to service the front brakes including adding helper springs.  What was found when Horn Truck pulled the wheel was a half finished job.  Only one pin was removed and cleaned and added a helper spring. The other pin had never been pulled or a helper spring installed.  No wonder the brake had problems. Horn trucking replaced all pins, bushings, and installed helper springs on both front brakes. The price for this was $1300.00.  I save all the old parts and took pictures of the work performed by A1 Diesel.  How can I get some of my money back?

You could ask for some refund and they will likely say take a hike.. next would be small claims.. I would be peed off and would likely take it to small claims providing all your ducks are lined up as you suggest.. Get tired of paying hard earned money for nothing.

I love paying for repairs with American Express, they really fight for you when there is a problem, I have got issues resolved that I would have been stuck with if I had paid cash or check.
A credit card is always best form of payment, a payment can be disputed for 60 days legally and some cards will do it for longer, contacting the vendor or repair facility and acting as a negotiator., getting a refund for the charges.

I would light a fire under em for sure.  Not only did they steal from you, they endangered your life and the lives of others with improperly serviced brakes.  They need to answer for this.

Not a fan of back and forth on social media for issues.. Rather look them in the eye and let them represent themselves in front of a judge after I make my case in person in their office..

If your a thousand miles away it's hard to go back and there's a chance this guy is the judges brother in law.

Many places try to do a really good job but one mechanic, sales person, chef does a bad job. I do not believe that it is right to blast them on social media without talking to the owner or manager but preferably the owner.
If they give you no satisfaction then the gloves are off, but generally they will try to make everything right.
If you will not say something to someone's face don't say it at all. Social media is full of people who do not have the courage of their convictions and blast businesses unfairly.
Many times it's a combination of "say" a bad mechanic and a bad problem and customers with unrealistic expectations.
If you do not give praise on social media, you have no right to complain on social media, like everything in life, it's a two way streak.

It's funny because my son in law is the local judge. The repair shop is local too.
