He didn't even look at it and New pads are more noisy... and he asked me U

Just get it replaced and make sure you won't get charged.

Good luck!

I've had the new pads for a few months now. Definitely less brake dust but IMHO they don't stop you as well...

cinch house hold cleaner, takes the brake dust off like nothing. and the good part, it won't hurt the clear coat. spray on and wipe off it's that easy.

Had my new pads for about 2000 miles and never heard a single noise out of them!

4 SURE!!

Everyone tells me no noise, but these people at the dealership keep asking me if I really want to do it. Clowns!

8/21 is when my new pads go on! Can't wait.
