I brought the car in for scheduled maintenance. They said front and rear brakes were seized and changed calipers front and back, rotors (back only) and pads all around. Unfortunately the noise the brakes were making (occasional loud grinding noise when braking close to a stop) was still there after spending $1500 on brakes. |
