Front Brake Pads Replacement
Squealing, grinding or a longer pedal travel means the front pads are worn. They do most of the stopping, so they wear first.

We measure pad thickness, inspect the discs for scoring and lipping, check the caliper slides and piston, fit the new pads, then bed them in and road test the car.
Front brake pads do most of the stopping work on your car, so they wear out first, usually two to three times faster than the rears. Squealing when you brake, a grinding noise, or a pedal that travels further than it used to are all signs they need attention. Michanic replaces front brake pads at your home or office.
Worn pads are the one repair you should not postpone. Once the friction material is gone, the backing plate cuts into the disc, turning a straightforward pad change into pads and discs. Coming to you means the car is off the road for an hour or two in your own driveway rather than a day at a workshop.
Our mechanics measure the remaining pad material and inspect the discs before fitting anything, so you know whether pads alone will do the job. Calipers and slide pins are cleaned and checked, because a seized pin wears a new set of pads unevenly within weeks.
Front brakes do most of the stopping work, so worn front pads lengthen stopping distances exactly when you need them shortest. Leaving them too long also destroys the discs.
