My 2010 Kia Sorento petrol suddenly needs both front and left rear brake disks and pads replaced. Is this a common problem? What can I do to get a fair deal in repairing them?

You always replace discs and pads in pairs you also omited to day how many miles the car has travelled.A quick test is run your fingures up the breaking surface of the disc if there is a pronounced ridge at the outer edge then the discs require chanching whether they require changing can only be decided by someone independant, qualified and who can see them.

Cost for replacement is no more than 200ukps for the 4 discs and pads plus labour.

Do you live near the sea? Salty water will ruin disks if left wet overnight.
