mintex brake pads and brake squeal
 

just had mintex pads and new rotors put in the front...they didnt use any anti-squeal paste....drove fine for a few days but the pads are beginning to squeal when coming to a gradual stop....are there any solutions short of replacing pads again? I was told mintex makes good pads??

thanks

How much did you pay for the job?

It is common. The hardest the material the pads are made from, the biggest their life-time, the noisest squeal you get. Give them some time to warn out a little more, then you see. In the meantime enjoy the fine and ultimum braking..!!

i paid CDN $250 for new OEM rotors, mintex pads and installation. Considerably less than the $560 quoted by the dealer. I had a friend (mechanic) buy the parts at cost for me.
