    The computer says the car needs new rear brake pads.
    Do I need to have a main dealer fit these so the computer can be reset or once its done by any soap it'll reset itself ?
    Same for the brake fluid.

    There's a new brake pad wear indicator that needs to be fitted with the new pad, any good non main dealer should have these.

    what year is your car? is it still under warrenty?

    if it is then you will nee to use genuine parts to keep the warrenty, if its out of warrenty then just get it done at an independent.

    like AC Cars or similar.
    did you get a quote from the main dealer yet?
