The car has been off the road for about 3 months no problem but it's been in the paint shop for a couple of weeks and he says the breaks are slowly seizing as he could push it round easily but now all four wheels are getting stiffer any ideas chaps??

I would of thought if they had left the handbrake off the brakes should be ok?

When you get the car back strip the calipers down and give them a clean up, grease up your sliders as they might be seized and copper grease the brake pads then see how your brakes feel

Its probably just build up of rust on the discs ....it doesnt take much to start fouling the pads .... i do agree when you get the car back ...grease up the sliders .pins.scrub the discs up and see how they feel ..

Im guna stick new braided hoses on so i will do the callipers the, ill do a write up as i go. Just thought it strange as the discs looked clean and it was all 4. I could imagine one being stiff,

It was up on the ramp and you can hardly turn the wheels by hand but you could before. Probably just need a service as there can't be much to fix
