How Brake Pad Replacement Works at Golden Horse

From squeal and a long pedal to confident, quiet braking — in four clear steps.

Step 1. Tell Us the Symptoms

Squealing or grinding, a pad-wear warning on the dash, a pedal that feels longer than before or vibration when you brake? Message us on WhatsApp or book online. A mechanic replies within minutes and estimates whether it is pads only or pads and discs.

Step 2. Measurement and Quote

On the lift we measure pad thickness at every wheel, check disc thickness and run-out, look at the calipers, guide pins and brake fluid condition. You get an itemised quote — pads, sensors, discs if needed — before we start.

Step 3. Replacement

We fit premium OEM-grade pads matched to your car, clean and lubricate the caliper guides, replace the wear sensors and hardware, and reset the pad service indicator. Front or rear axle takes about 1 hour; both axles about 2 hours.

Step 4. Bedding-In and Warranty

We bed the new pads in on a short road test, check for noise and pull, and confirm the pedal is firm. You leave with a report of remaining disc life and a warranty on parts and labour.

Which brake pad problems do drivers most often bring to us?

Stop-and-go traffic and heavy SUVs wear pads faster in Dubai than anywhere in Europe. These are the pad-related complaints Golden Horse hears most often and what stands behind them.

  1. High-pitched squeal when brakingThe wear indicator touching the disc — the pads are at 2–3 mm. Sometimes it is only glazing or dust; we check before replacing.
  2. Grinding, metal on metalPads worn to the backing plate. The discs are usually scored by now and must be replaced with the pads.
  3. Pad warning on the dashElectronic wear sensor triggered. On BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Range Rover the sensor is a one-time part and is replaced with the pads, then the service interval is reset.
  4. Pulsing pedal or steering shake when brakingDisc thickness variation from overheating or a caliper that drags. New pads alone will not cure this — discs and caliper are checked.
  5. New pads, still noisy or pulling to one sideSeized caliper guide pins or a sticking piston, very common in coastal humidity. We service the calipers, not just swap the pads.

    Your vehicle's brake system is one of the most important components of safe driving, and the pads play a critical role in providing effective stopping power. Over time, brake pads wear down due to constant friction. This makes timely replacement essential to maintain control and avoid costly repairs to other brake components.

    If the discs are below their minimum thickness or warped, they are replaced together with the pads — see brake disc replacement.

    The Common Signs of Car Brake Issues

    • Squeaking or squealing sound: A high-pitched noise when braking is often the first sign your pads are wearing thin. 
    • Grinding sound: If you hear grinding, your pads may be completely worn out, and the metal backing is scraping against the rotors, this can cause serious damage.
    • Longer stopping distance: Reduced braking efficiency can be dangerous and is a strong indicator your pads need replacement.
    • Brake warning light: Some modern cars have sensors that trigger a dashboard light when pads are low.
    • Vibration while braking: A vibrating brake pedal may indicate it's time to change the brake pads and rotors, as uneven wear or damage can affect smooth stopping performance.
    • Visibly thin pads: You can sometimes see the pads through the wheel spokes. If they look less than 1/4 inch thick, it’s time for a replacement.
    • Pulling to one side: Uneven brake pad wear can cause your car to pull to one side during braking.

    Why is Replace Your Brake Pads Important?

    Brake pads are essential for your car’s ability to stop safely. Each time you press the brake pedal, the pads create friction against the rotors to slow the car down. Over time, this friction wears them down, reducing their ability to perform effectively. Worn pads can lead to longer stopping distances, reduced control, and potential damage to other brake components. Replacing your brake pads on time is crucial for your car’s safety and performance. Here’s why:

    • Ensures safe stopping
    • Improves braking efficiency
    • Protects the entire brake system
    • Saves money in the long run
    • Enhances driving comfort and confidence
