Brake pads riding on a warped or scored disc will fail their bed-in and squeal for the life of the pad. Replacing discs and pads together — not just pads on old discs — is nearly always the right call.
- First 200 miles: avoid hard emergency braking — the friction material needs to bed in
- Some brake dust is normal in the first week
Do you replace pads only if the discs are within spec?+
Yes — if disc thickness and runout are inside spec we're happy to fit pads only.
Do you handle electronic parking brakes?+
Yes — VW/Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Volvo and most modern cars. We have the diagnostic tool for the reset procedure.
