Queues that stop and start every few seconds, fast highway traffic across Dubai that suddenly slows, and heavy SUVs all wear pads down. Brake pad replacement in Jumeirah is the most regular brake job on any car, and it's one that can usually be done in a car park rather than a workshop.
We take the wheels off to see the pads properly, measure what's left, and check the discs for scoring, a raised lip or heat damage. We also look at the caliper slide pins and brake fluid level, because a sticking caliper will chew through new pads quickly.
Some cars have wear sensors or an electronic parking brake that must be put into service mode before rear pads can be changed. Our technicians handle those steps as part of the job, and anything that needs a workshop is flagged before work starts.
