So, I started hearing my brakes scrape. It's a noticeable grinding sound where the dead pad is contacting and ruining the rotor. It's only on the front and it appears the rear brakes are in good shape. And, while the rotors are okay, they are being ruined every day I drive.
So, my question to you fine folks at CAG is...
Can I drive like this for a week? It's snowing and I do not have a place to change my brakes until next Saturday. I could go to a brake place and get ripped off. However, if I can delay it a couple more days then I can use my friends heated garage and change the brakes myself. Rotors and pads will set me back less than $150 if I do the work myself. If I take it in to a brake place, it will cost $150 for them to just install pads! So, I don't mind ruining the rotors as I was planning to change them anyway. What do you guys think? Am I safe until next Saturday?
