He probably kept applying them earlier and earlier and earlier....
He never knew they were going bad, I'll bet.

Stoenr,

Maybe it's just the picture, but I don't see any brake pad left on that caliper, either. Does this person happen to be deaf? I'm surprised that the grinding noise didn't irritate the heck out of them to bring it in earlier...

You mean them ain't them new-fangled, space-age, light-weight aluminum, turbine rotor disc brakes with the instant stop calipers?

And the car still stopped. :shock:
Isn't modern engineering wonderful.

I wonder what they were thinking when they did that. I could just imagine that thing to have cracked and causd something serious.
And yes, get him some new brakes & rotors ASAP lol
