Pads and discs
Pad thickness, wear pattern, disc thickness, lip, scoring, cracks, heat marks, and runout are checked. Parts are selected for the fitted brake package and intended use.

Inspect squealing, grinding, vibration, warning lights, pulling, fluid leaks, or weak braking before replacing parts. We measure the brake system and quote the complete axle or hydraulic repair.
Decide if the vehicle should move
Arrange pickup instead of driving when the pedal sinks, braking effort suddenly increases, fluid is leaking, a wheel is extremely hot, the vehicle pulls sharply, metal grinding is continuous, or a red brake warning remains on. These signs can indicate lost friction material, hydraulic failure, a seized caliper, damaged hose, or another serious fault.
A light squeal does not always mean the brakes are unsafe, but it still needs inspection. Dust, glazing, pad material, wear indicators, surface corrosion, hardware movement, or poor bedding can create noise. The safe decision depends on remaining material, disc condition, temperature, pedal response, and warning status.
Repair the complete cause
Brake work is selected by measurement and condition, not noise alone. We explain whether the repair is friction, hydraulic, electronic, hub-related, or connected to tires and suspension.
Pad thickness, wear pattern, disc thickness, lip, scoring, cracks, heat marks, and runout are checked. Parts are selected for the fitted brake package and intended use.
Slides, pistons, boots, carriers, clips, parking-brake mechanisms, and hose condition are inspected. A sticking caliper can destroy new pads and discs quickly.
Master cylinder, booster behavior, lines, hoses, visible leaks, pedal response, and fluid condition are considered. Bleeding follows the system requirement.
Wheel-speed sensors, wiring, tone rings, modules, power supply, and live wheel data may be tested. A scan code is not treated as automatic proof of one failed part.
Cables, shoes, actuators, switches, modules, and electronic service procedures vary by model. Release and adjustment are verified after work.
Disc runout, hub cleanliness, wheel torque, tire condition, suspension movement, alignment, and caliper operation are compared before friction parts are blamed.
Prices by axle and system
These estimated totals vary with model, brake package, disc diameter, parts brand, damage, and hydraulic condition. The written quote identifies the axle and included work.
| Brake repair | Estimated total | Included work |
|---|---|---|
| Workshop brake inspection | Free | Visible condition, pad life, disc surface, pedal, fluid, and warning review |
| Front brake pads | AED 850 to 2,200 | Suitable axle pad set, hardware review, fitting, and road check |
| Rear brake pads | AED 750 to 1,900 | Suitable axle pad set, parking-brake procedure where required, and testing |
| Front discs and pads | AED 2,200 to 6,500 | Matched axle discs and pads, cleaning, fitting, and bedding guidance |
| Rear discs and pads | AED 1,900 to 5,500 | Matched rear parts, parking-brake inspection, fitting, and checks |
| Brake fluid service | AED 350 to 750 | Correct fluid, pressure or controlled bleeding, and pedal check |
| Caliper repair or replacement | AED 900 to 4,500 each | Confirmed caliper work, bleeding, leak check, and temperature review |
| ABS diagnosis | AED 350 to 950 | Scan, live data, circuit or sensor checks as needed |
A complete quote may include pads, discs, sensors, hardware, fluid, labor, diagnostics, and VAT treatment. Our price can be 65% to 70% lower than agency pricing when parts and work scope are equivalent.
Evidence before parts
We compare friction wear on both sides of the axle. Uneven inner and outer pad thickness can expose stuck slides, piston trouble, hardware issues, hose restriction, or mounting problems. Disc thickness is measured against the applicable limit, while runout and hub contact are considered when vibration is reported.
Pedal feel is checked with the engine off and running. Visible lines, hoses, calipers, fluid level, and contamination are reviewed. Warning lights may require fault-code and live wheel-speed checks. Tires, wheel bearings, suspension joints, and wheel mounting can also create pull or vibration that feels like a brake fault.
Temperature comparison is useful after a controlled drive. One wheel that runs much hotter can point toward friction that is not releasing, but heat alone does not identify the failed component. The caliper piston, guide movement, hose behavior, parking-brake mechanism, bearing condition, and brake balance still need to be separated before a repair is approved.
When vibration is the complaint, we also ask when it occurs. A shake only through the pedal, movement through the steering wheel, vibration at road speed without braking, and a pulsation that changes with brake pressure lead to different checks. This prevents a tire or suspension problem from being hidden by an unnecessary disc replacement.
Make one complete axle decision
Suitable when discs remain within specification, surfaces are usable, runout is acceptable, and calipers move correctly. Pad material must suit the vehicle and use.
Recommended when discs are below limit, deeply scored, cracked, heat-damaged, heavily lipped, or unsuitable for a reliable pad-only repair.
Needed when a piston, slide, hose, seal, line, master cylinder, booster, or related control prevents even and safe braking.
Performance models and heavy SUVs can use larger, more expensive brake packages. Charger and Challenger performance variants may also require specific friction compounds, disc sizes, and bedding procedures. We confirm the fitted equipment before ordering.
One complete repair scenario
Customer concern: steering-wheel shake during medium braking and a hot smell after city driving.
Inspection: front disc runout and heat marking, uneven inner-pad wear, restricted caliper-slide movement, and usable tires and suspension joints.
Repair scope: matched front discs and pads, slide service with suitable hardware, hub-face cleaning, controlled wheel tightening, fluid and hose check, bedding guidance, and road verification.
Estimated total: AED 4,600, subject to the fitted brake package and confirmation that caliper replacement is not required.
Expected outcome: even axle braking, stable pedal response, corrected friction-related vibration, and a final temperature comparison after the road check.
Why the diagnosis matters: replacing pads alone would not address disc runout or restricted slide movement. Leaving either condition could return the vibration, overheat the new friction material, and shorten service life. The estimate therefore treats the front axle as one controlled system while avoiding an unnecessary caliper replacement unless piston or bore testing confirms it.
Standard and performance packages
Imported models can differ from GCC specifications. A VIN, old part number, or brake measurement may be requested after the initial contact when needed for accurate parts matching.
Controlled from inspection to bedding
Noise, pedal feel, warnings, pull, heat, and vibration guide the first checks.
Pads, discs, calipers, hydraulics, hubs, and related wheel-area parts are assessed.
The quote identifies parts, side or axle, labor, fluid, sensors, and final checks.
Approved work is completed, the pedal and leaks are checked, and bedding guidance is provided.
Common questions
Yes, when the discs remain within specification and their surface, runout, and condition support a reliable pad-only repair.
Disc runout, thickness variation, hub contamination, uneven pad transfer, caliper issues, tires, bearings, or suspension movement can cause vibration.
Common pad or disc work may be completed the same day when parts and capacity allow. Hydraulic, ABS, seized, or special-order work takes longer.
A sticking caliper, restricted hose, parking-brake problem, bearing issue, or incorrect adjustment can generate excess heat and needs prompt inspection.
Basic braking may remain, but anti-lock and stability functions can be limited. The fault should be scanned and tested promptly.
Fluid absorbs moisture and its condition affects boiling resistance and hydraulic service. The correct interval and repair need depend on the vehicle and test result.
Yes, the initial workshop inspection is free. Advanced ABS, hydraulic, or runout testing is explained before paid work begins.
