A customer brought their Mazda CX-5 into our workshop after moving down from Canberra. A "prestige" service centre told him his front brake pads were down to 2mm and urged him to replace both rotors and pads right away.
We pulled the wheels off to inspect them:
🔍 Right side: ~5mm remaining
🔍 Left side: 6–7mm remaining
At just 60,000 km, these pads still have thousands of kilometres of safe stopping power left.
Instead of charging him hundreds for parts he didn't need:
1️⃣ Disassembled and cleaned the caliper carriers & hardware
2️⃣ Cleaned the pad shims
3️⃣ Greased the guide pins
4️⃣ Applied CRC Disc Brake Quiet & anti-seize lubricant to eliminate any squeal
Honest advice. No unnecessary parts. That’s the JustFix standard.
