What Goes Into Brake Pads & Brake Disc Service Here’s the typical scope of work when replacing or servicing brake pads + brake discs (rotors): Step What is Done Purpose / Benefit 1. Initial Inspection Check condition of brake pads (thickness, wear), brake discs for warping/runs, scratches, grooves, surface damage, etc. Check calipers, brake lines. To determine whether pads or disc(s) need replacement or resurfacing, safety check, and what parts/labour will be needed. 2. Removing Wheels & Calipers Remove the wheel; then remove the brake caliper to gain access to pads and disc. Sometimes the caliper bracket must be removed. Necessary to safely remove pads and disc; check caliper operation. 3. Removing Old Brake Pads Take out old pads; inspect pad back plate, friction material, any uneven wear etc. Clean pad mounting/guide pins. Ensures new pads sit correctly and work evenly; avoids noises and uneven braking. 4. Inspecting and Possibly Replacing Brake Discs (Rotors) Examine disc for minimum thickness, visible damage, warping, run-out (vibration), rust. If usable, may resurface; else replace with new disc. Discs that are too thin or warped reduce braking performance, cause pulsation, safety risk. 5. Brake Disc Resurfacing or Replacement If disc within serviceable limits, machine it (turning) to restore a flat surface; otherwise, fit new brake disc. Provides even friction surface; avoids vibration under braking and uneven pad wear. 6. Fitting New Brake Pads Install new pads (front or rear) of appropriate specification (OEM or good aftermarket). Often includes shims or anti-squeal material. New pads restore stopping power; correct materials minimize noise, dust, and wear. 7. Lubrication / Caliper Maintenance Clean and lubricate guide pins, contact surfaces; check caliper piston movement; replace or lubricate hardware (clips, springs). Ensures caliper works smoothly; prevents sticking, uneven pad wear. 8. Reassembly & Torqueing Put caliper, wheel back on; torquing bolts to spec. Ensures safe, correct fitment. 9. Brake Fluid Check Check level and condition of brake fluid; may top up or bleed if needed. Proper fluid ensures consistent hydraulic pressure; avoids spongy feel. 10. Testing & Final Checks Test drive or brake test in workshop: check braking response, look for vibrations, noises, check for leaks. Confirm everything works well, safe braking restored. What to Confirm with Auto Technix To make sure you get the service you expect, when you go there you can ask / confirm: Pad Type & Quality — Are they OEM pads, or aftermarket? What material (organic, semi-metallic, ceramic)? Disc Spec — Is the new disc OEM? Brand? Or will they resurface the old disc if possible? Minimum thickness vs replacement threshold. Warranty on the pads/discs installed and labour. Cost Estimate for parts + labour; front set vs rear; per disc. Turnaround Time — how long they will take. Check for any additional needed repairs (caliper issues, brake fluid, etc.).
