My 2018 Pajero has started making that telltale grinding noise every time I brake, especially when I'm coming to a stop at traffic lights, and I know I've left the pads way too long. I'm pretty sure the front rotors are going to need skimming too at this point, because I can feel a slight pulsation through the pedal when I brake from highway speeds. I called a few well-known garages in Al Quoz for a quote and honestly the prices were all over the place, with some quoting nearly double what others were offering for what seems like the same job. I've had bad experiences in the past where a garage told me they'd use genuine parts and then I found out later they'd put in cheap aftermarket ones that wore out in no time, so I'm a bit cautious this time around. I'm also wondering whether I should just pay a bit more and get the rotors replaced instead of skimmed, because I've heard skimming can sometimes leave them too thin and they'll warp again quickly in this heat. I've seen some deals online for brake pad replacement offers Dubai that seem tempting, but I'm always a bit skeptical about whether those budget prices actually include decent parts and proper labour. Has anyone here had their brakes done at a place they actually trust, and did you go for new rotors or just a skim? I'd really appreciate some honest recommendations before I commit to anywhere.
