Brake noise, vibration or a change in pedal feel? Mechanics checks pads, discs, calipers, fluid leaks and ABS faults at our Al Quoz workshop. Standard pad replacement has an indicative fitted budget of AED 265–850 per axle. Compare the repair options and prices below, then ask for a quote for your car.
A pad change, a damaged disc and a hydraulic leak need different work. These market-informed planning estimates help you compare the work. Your Mechanics price is confirmed for your vehicle after the fault and suitable parts are identified.
| Work | Indicative fitted budget including 5% VAT | What the budget covers |
|---|---|---|
| Standard brake pads | AED 265–850 per axle, including 5% VAT | Pads for both wheels on one axle and routine fitting. New discs, wear sensors and caliper repairs are additional if required. |
| Conventional discs and pads | AED 840–2,100 per axle, including 5% VAT | A pair of conventional steel brake discs, matching pads and routine fitting on one axle. Specialist performance and carbon ceramic systems are excluded. |
| Brake fluid change | AED 130–265 per vehicle, including 5% VAT | Specified brake fluid and routine replacement and bleeding. Leak repairs or additional procedures for a hydraulic fault need a separate quote. |
| Caliper, hydraulic or ABS repair | Quote after diagnosis | The cost depends on the failed component and whether it can be serviced or needs replacement. We confirm any additional diagnostic charge before proceeding. |
These rounded planning estimates allow for the named parts, routine fitting and 5% VAT. One axle means both front wheels or both rear wheels. The figures are not a fixed Mechanics price list.
The car’s brake package, chosen parts, wear sensors and any additional fault affect the total. The initial inspection is free. Further diagnostic work is quoted separately, and your itemised quote confirms parts, labour, extras and VAT.
Share the model, year and symptom. We can confirm the right brake package and an itemised repair quote.
Repair decisions should follow the condition of the whole braking system. Replacing a worn item without addressing the cause can bring the same problem back.
A symptom points us towards the right checks. It does not prove that a particular part needs replacing.
Metallic grinding can mean the friction material is worn away. Our guide to signs of worn brake pads explains the common clues. Squealing has several possible causes, so we inspect pad thickness, disc surfaces and fitting hardware before quoting parts.
Pedal pulsation or steering shake can involve disc thickness variation, runout or a problem at the hub. We also check for a sticking caliper and relevant wheel or suspension faults rather than assuming every vibration is a warped disc.
Uneven braking, a hot wheel or a burning smell can point to a binding caliper, restricted hose or parking brake fault. Tyre condition can also contribute to pulling. The inspection checks both sides of the axle.
A useful assessment tells you what has worn, what can remain in service and which test supports the repair.
Bring the right vehicle details. The model, year and optional VIN help identify disc diameter, pad shape, wear sensors and the fitted brake package. Tell us about performance options or modifications.
Discs that need replacement are changed in axle pairs. Machining is considered only where the manufacturer permits it and the finished disc remains within specification.
Two quotes only compare fairly when they cover the same axle, parts, fitting and extras. Ask which manufacturer and part number are proposed for your car.
A genuine part carries the vehicle manufacturer's branding. For an OEM or aftermarket alternative, compare the actual manufacturer, compatible part number and stated warranty. A label alone does not prove equivalence.
Tell us about towing, heavy loads, track use or a modified brake system. Performance friction material is not automatically the right choice for everyday driving.
Send the make, model, year and what you have noticed. A photo of a dashboard warning or a recording taken safely can help the team prepare.
We confirm a workshop time or discuss pickup in Dubai. Mention parking access and whether the car can be moved safely. Recovery for an unsafe vehicle needs suitable transport and an agreed charge.
Review the findings, parts choice and itemised total before work starts. If further diagnosis reveals additional work, the revised scope needs your approval. An enquiry alone does not confirm a booking.
The completion checks follow the repair and include pedal response, leaks, relevant warnings and functional or road testing where safe. Keep the invoice, applicable warranty terms and any running-in instructions with your service records.
Brake equipment can differ within the same model range. Choose your vehicle page below or send the model, year and optional VIN so we can identify the fitted system.

Practical answers about cost, timing, parts and the next step for your car.
Talk to the workshopIndicative Dubai budgets are AED 265–850 for standard pads on one axle, AED 840–2,100 for conventional discs and pads on one axle, and AED 130–265 for a routine fluid change. The named work includes routine fitting and 5% VAT. These are planning estimates, not a fixed Mechanics tariff. Your exact price depends on the vehicle, selected parts and confirmed fault.
Straightforward pad or disc work may be completed within one working day when the correct parts are available. Seized components, hydraulic repairs, further diagnosis or ordered parts can take longer. Share your model, year and required collection time when booking. The workshop confirms the timing for your repair.
No. Squealing can come from worn pads, vibration at the pad or caliper, contamination, or disc surface condition. A noise alone does not identify the repair. An inspection checks the friction material and related components before deciding whether cleaning, servicing or replacement is appropriate.
Only where the vehicle and disc manufacturer permit machining and the finished disc will remain within the required limits. Cracks, excessive corrosion, heat damage or insufficient thickness can rule it out. Carbon ceramic discs require their own assessment. Ask for the measurements and the reason for the recommended option.
A red brake warning that remains after the parking brake is released, a sinking pedal, fluid leakage or reduced braking needs immediate attention. Stop safely and arrange recovery if braking is compromised. An amber ABS warning may mean anti-lock assistance is unavailable even if the pedal feels normal. Follow the vehicle handbook and contact the workshop promptly. Clearing the warning does not repair the fault.
Not necessarily. Pads are replaced as a set across the affected axle, but the front and rear can wear at different rates. The condition and measurements determine whether one or both axles need work. Disc replacement is assessed in axle pairs according to the applicable specification.
Ask Mechanics to confirm the terms for the selected parts and work before you approve the repair. Check the covered components and labour, the time or mileage limit, normal-wear exclusions and the claim process. Keep the written terms and invoice. Do not assume every brake job has the same cover.
