I'm asking if it's normal for people's car to ask them to replace their brake pads at 16K miles. |
My current car at 33000 miles told me that the front brake pads needed replacing. BMW wanted $1700 for front pads and rotors.
I took it to Euro Fix and they inspected and told me the pads still had 10mm on them, and based on the amount of miles on the car, they'd be good for another 15000 miles or so...
It ended up costing me $145 to have the sensor replaced so that they could reset the message on the screen.
Hopefully the brakes will be good until I sell the car (and after I do!) when the new one eventually comes in.
