Can brake pads be changed in one hour while I wait? Khalifa City
-
I have a tight schedule this week, and my Infiniti Q50 has started to make a soft grinding noise every time I brake, which I know I cannot ignore for long. I live in Khalifa City, and the problem is time, not money. I cannot leave the car at a workshop for a whole day, because I need it for the school run in the morning and for work in the afternoon. A colleague told me a good place can swap pads in about an hour while you sit and wait. Another one said that a quick job usually means they skipped something, like cleaning the brake parts or checking the discs. So I am not sure what to believe. I searched on my phone during lunch to see what a Fast Infiniti brake pad change in Khalifa City would look like, and I still could not tell how long a proper job should take. The car has about seventy thousand kilometres, and the pads have never been changed. Is one hour realistic for the front pads, or should I plan for two? Does the shop measure the discs first to see if they are still good? Should they clean and grease the sliding parts, and is that included? Also, is it okay to book early in the morning so they are not rushed? And should I ask them to show me the old pads before I pay? If you did this on a busy day, please tell me how long it took, what you paid, and what you would do differently. Easy answers help me most.
