What should be on the quote

  • New pad retaining pins and clips — they should not be reused if corroded.
  • Caliper piston and slide service with the correct grease.
  • A measured disc thickness if disc replacement is recommended.
  • Brake fluid flush with fresh DOT 4 — fluid absorbs moisture and should be changed every 2 years.
