before they become dangerously low you would have your brakes squealing loudly due to the squealers once the pads become thin enough
Uhh low, no… damaged and warped yes.
So I think the question is, are these likely to last until the next maintainance?
I’ve replaced my own pads that were less work just because I was already there and waiting 3-6 months seemed like a waste to me. Are you goona get another 10k miles out of those pads? Probably not.
shoulda checked ur pads yourself if you were capable enough to do your brakes anyways.
My girlfriend had the same thing happen at the Toyota dealership. They told her that her front pads had 2mm left and the back pads had 3 mm left. Changed out the front ones and there was still half a pad left
Midas told me same thing about my rear brakes when I had an oil change almost a year and 13k miles ago. Changed them 2 days ago and still had at least another 1500-2000 miles left. They lost a lot of business that day for my 4 vehicles.
3/32 is low. You have plenty of life on thst.
Had to get my Kia engine replaced on a warranty recall and they told me the same about my rotors and pads. I bit too. Went and bought the pads and rotors to do myself. The pads were ready but my rotors were perfectly fine so I just returned those. Same dealership that charged me 300 for a battery so I could pick my car up lol
Im getting fucked my by local repair shop right now. Going to get rid of my car after this bullshit.
As a toyota lube tech those are 5 or 6 mm, They start recommending them at 4mm but that isn’t near dangerously low, what car is this on?
Mine did this for my last cars brakes, I took them to my mechanic and he said they had 2 years left on them. The dealership tried to get me to trade my 2017 Mazda3 Grand Touring in for a 2021 CX-5 with 51k miles when I said no they found all of these issues they said my serpentine belt was cracked at 36k miles and there was oil buildup on another belt (this one was true) as well as a handful of other issues every single one except the oil buildup was a lie or exaggerated. Never trust a dealership beyond warranty work or recalls.
Aside from uneven wear, that pad is still good.
Uneven wear usually means something is wrong (bad /stuck/seized caliper pin, something bet that shouldn’t be, improperly seated pad or rotor, etc.). I wouldn’t call it dangerous, but things that are other things that manifest in uneven brake pad wear that you might want to take a peek at, and those things can be dangerous (such as a failing wheel bearing).
This just looks like run-of-the-mill sticky caliper or bad guide pins, though.
We’re all four corners like this?
First mistake was letting the dealership do any work at all. Their job is not to repair what’s broken. It’s to upsell you on expensive “repairs” you don’t actually need.
