Hi all,
Report from recent service was told about front brake ridged/lipped. The technician hasn't recommended further work, what is the implication? Will this result a major costly work at a later stage?
I need a second opinion.
Thanks,

All brake discs after a period of time have lipped edges. This is due to the brake pad being slightly smaller than the disc and thus wearing only where the pad makes contact with the disc.
If the garage is advising you correctly, then they will advise that you'll need new discs before the ridged/lipped edge becomes a serious problem.

You need to measure the thickness of the disc where the pads bear on it; i.e the worn, shiny area. Use a micrometer for this and check with your Honda dealer what the permissible disc thickness should be. If the ridging is more than about 2mm you will probably need new discs.
