Pads and discs replaced in a couple of hours, at your home or office. In practice it means front and rear pad replacement with OE-equivalent friction material, plus the checks that confirm the fault was what it looked like.
Brake pads are a scheduled consumable and replacing them is straightforward — provided the discs are measured rather than assumed, the calliper slide pins are cleaned and greased, and the pads that go on are the right friction compound for the car. We do all three at your location and show you the old parts.
A high squeal is the wear indicator doing exactly what it was designed to do — you have a few hundred kilometres. A metallic grinding noise means the pad backing is on the disc and the disc is now also a purchase. A judder felt through the pedal is disc thickness variation, not pad wear at all, and new pads will not fix it.
Heavy vehicles, sustained high speeds and the specific pattern of hard braking into congestion put more energy through the pads here than average. Heat also cooks the grease out of calliper slide pins, and a seized pin wears one pad to nothing while the other stays thick — which is why we check pins on every job rather than only on request.
Dubai compresses every wear cycle a car has. Ambient heat, fine airborne sand and the stop-start driving that most local mileage is made of mean components reach a given wear state at a lower odometer reading than the manufacturer's schedule assumes. Service intervals written for temperate climates are optimistic here, and this job is one of the places that shows.
You should be shown the old part, told what the test read before and after, and given the price you were quoted rather than a revised one. Those three are cheap for an honest workshop to provide and awkward for a dishonest one, which is exactly why they are worth asking for.
Typically every 30,000 to 50,000 km, but it depends entirely on how you drive. We measure the remaining material rather than going by mileage.
Yes. Pads, discs and fluid are all mobile jobs. Most cars take about 90 minutes for one axle in your own parking space.
Only if they are below the minimum thickness stamped on the hub, scored, or showing thickness variation. We measure and show you the number.
