In hindsight, I wish I'd requested the original discs back so I could inspect them, since it was my first ever pad change, the low pad warning light wasn't illuminated, and it was very clear that I wasn't down to metal-on-metal.

My advice is, if you're changing brakes at a dealer, ask for the original parts back so that you can show them to an independent expert to verify that they indeed required replacing in the first place.

Same thing happened to me !!!
They call me to tell me that I need to change pads. I sad ok but warning light is not on, and then guy told me that is a safety issue and he will change me whether i agree or not.
What should I do, I agree and they charge me for that.
I didn’t saw my old pads!
