Pad wear and sensors
We inspect inner and outer pads, wear pattern and sensor condition. Uneven wear may point to caliper movement or hydraulic drag.
Ferrari brake work should begin with the hardware fitted to the car, the warning history and measured wear. We separate pad, disc, hydraulic, hub and electronic causes before recommending an axle repair.

Ferrari models can use different disc materials, calipers and electronic controls. We establish what is fitted, measure its condition and quote only the axle or system that needs attention. Applicable models include 458, 488, F8, Roma, Portofino, California, 812, SF90 and GTC4Lusso.
We inspect inner and outer pads, wear pattern and sensor condition. Uneven wear may point to caliper movement or hydraulic drag.
Thickness, surface condition, heat marks and runout are considered together. A lip alone does not describe the remaining serviceability.
Carbon-ceramic systems need careful visual and measurement-led assessment. Replacement is not recommended from appearance alone.
Brake noise, vibration and warning messages do not all point to the same repair. Each stage narrows the cause before high-value components are ordered.
Identify iron or carbon-ceramic hardware and review the warning.
Check pads, discs, runout and temperature differences.
Separate friction, hydraulic, hub and electronic causes.
Complete installation checks and a controlled road test.
Send the model, year, VIN and dashboard warning. Tell us whether the concern is noise, vibration, pedal feel, pulling or a wear message. The workshop inspection is free.
Tell us whether the concern is noise, vibration, pulling, pedal feel or a dashboard message. A short video can help us prepare for the free workshop inspection.
Measured wear, heat pattern and fault data help prevent a pad replacement from masking a caliper, hub or electronic problem.
Leaks, seized movement, damaged boots and hose condition can alter pedal response and create uneven heat.
Fluid condition and service history matter under heat. The correct procedure and specification are confirmed for the vehicle.
A warning light can begin with a sensor, wiring, tone ring, power-supply or control issue. We scan and test before naming a module.
Squeal, grinding and steering shake have different causes. Disc runout, hub condition, deposits and pad material all need consideration.
After repair we confirm pedal response, warning status, wheel installation and a controlled road-test result.
Ferrari brake costs depend strongly on disc material and axle specification. These Dubai estimates separate routine friction work from carbon-ceramic assessment and ABS diagnosis.
| Work | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Workshop brake inspection | Free |
| Pads, per axle | AED 1,800–6,500 |
| Iron pads and discs, per axle | AED 6,500–18,000 |
| Carbon-ceramic assessment | AED 600–1,500 |
| Brake fluid service | AED 650–1,500 |
| ABS diagnosis | AED 400–1,000 |
The three scenarios below represent different brake systems and fault types. Parts selection follows measurement and the vehicle specification.
AED 3,200–5,800
Front pads, sensors where required, fitting and final checks. Inspection confirms the axle scope, disc type and required parts.
AED 8,500–14,500
Front iron discs and pads with measured installation checks. Inspection confirms the axle scope, disc type and required parts.
AED 900–2,200
Diagnosis and repair of a confirmed sensor or wiring fault. Inspection confirms the axle scope, disc type and required parts.
No. Noise can come from pad material, deposits, glazing, hardware, disc condition or contamination. We inspect before selecting parts.
Yes. Assessment comes first. Surface condition, measurements and the manufacturer’s relevant limits guide the decision.
Disc runout, hub condition, deposits, wheel installation and suspension play can contribute. The vibration must be traced before discs are ordered.
Timing depends on the confirmed parts and availability. We provide a schedule after inspection rather than promising completion before the hardware is identified.
Yes. Free pickup and delivery are available. Avoid driving if the pedal is soft, fluid is leaking, grinding is severe or braking has become unpredictable.
The free workshop inspection is in Al Quoz 4, Dubai. A separate on-site inspection may also be arranged when appropriate.
Call or send the model, year and brake concern. We will plan the inspection and discuss safe transport if the car should not be driven. For other Ferrari systems and services, return to Ferrari Repair Dubai.
