ABS, Slip, VDC dash lights

Previously posted under the J0 forum (oops!). Ended up bringing to dealer. The front right wheel sensor took a dump. Replaced and cleared all the fault codes. Here's my question..... I had someone doe a break job on the car approx 6 mos ago. The dealer claimed that the front brake pads were installed upside down. Visualize a smile vs frown in the caliper. Is this possible? Or, is this a service sales technique used get cash and discourage non-infinity repairs?

ThanksJeff

I've had dealers fubar brake pad replacement.

I am having a hard time seeing how it would even be possible to do what the dealer is claiming- dont think it would fit in the pad retainer slots of the caliper frame,as the frame is curved to mate with pad only 1 way

I'm thinking the same. How could this be? Am I being hosed??
