I just had my basic oil lube filter done at the 'stealership' on my 02 Sport. They try to upsell me on a visual inspection for $20 more but I said just do the OLF and when the work was completed, the tech advises me that my front brakes are at 15% and need to be replaced immediately and presses me to approve brake work.
I am very suspicious as I have no issues braking, squeeking or mushy peddle and I just got new rubber last week from a tire shop and no word of excessive brake wear etc. This is further compounded because I know the stealership did not take my wheels off to inspect since I have them locked w/ keyed lugnuts which I did not give them.
Rotors look fine.
So I said I will pass and leave.
My questions are:
does the OEM brake pads have some wear indicator which squeeks when pads are too thin to alert of replacement?
how can a tech doing a oil drain properly see my front caliper pads from under the vehicle enough to make such a recommendation? I have 245/70 on Rubi wheels.
Opinions?
