Question about life span of brake pads - Mitsubishi
I took the Pajero to be serviced this morning and just got a phone call from the dealership saying that the brake pads need to be replaced and wanted me to authorize a 750 AED charge for labor.
I said I'd have to check with DH first (just to buy some time). I've never felt any braking problems while driving the car, it's always been smooth and just fine. I'm aware that brake pads do wear out eventually, but I've heard stories of dealerships pulling the wool over people's eyes to make an extra buck, especially out here.
The car is only two and a half years old with about 50,000 AED on the clock. Is it reasonable that the brake pads are wearing out by now? DH just took off for a business trip in Singapore so I can't check in with him at the moment. I'm also surprised that they asked for the labor costs authorization given that the car is still under warranty, surely all this changes including labor should be covered by the warranty?
