Brake pads are the consumable that does the actual stopping — a friction-compound puck pressed against the rotating disc by the caliper piston. They wear down with every brake application, and on Hyderabad's stop-start traffic (avg city commute is 5-12 km at 18 km/h with hundreds of stops) front pads typically last 25,000-40,000 km on petrol cars and 18,000-30,000 km on heavier diesel SUVs and electric/hybrid models that recover energy through regen but still depend on friction braking for hard stops. A pad change isn't just 'pop the old, fit the new'. We do it the OEM way: pads matched to your car's friction-rating (low-met for European cars, ceramic for Toyota, NAO for newer Volvo), wear sensors replaced (one per axle on most Audi/BMW/Mercedes/VW/Skoda; integrated on Jaguar/LR/Volvo with iBooster), caliper guide pins cleaned and re-greased with copper or ceramic anti-seize, piston dust boots inspected, brake fluid bled fresh through the corner being worked (DOT 4 LV for VAG, DOT 4 Class 6 for BMW/MB, OE Volvo brake fluid for XC60/90), and the EPB (electronic parking brake) put into Service Mode via the right scan tool — VCDS / ODIS for VAG, ISTA+ for BMW, XENTRY for Mercedes, IDS / SDD for JLR, VIDA / DiCE for Volvo. Skip any of these and you get squeal, judder, ABS faults, EPB error 'C2A06' or 'C2A07', and uneven wear that scraps the discs in 5,000 km. At MPS we stock OEM-supplier pads on the bench: Brembo (factory pads for Audi RS, BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, Range Rover Sport SVR, Volvo Polestar), Textar (BMW, MB, VAG OE), Pagid (BMW, MB, JLR), ATE (VW, Audi, Volvo OE), Akebono (Toyota, Lexus, BMW Performance), Bosch (universal). Every job is photographed before/after and ends with a 30 km Hyderabad road test (KPHB → ORR → Hi-Tech City → back) to bed in the new compound and verify pedal feel and ABS function.

Why owners across Hyderabad bring their Skoda Kushaq to us
- Only OEM-supplier pads — never generic aftermarket — We stock Brembo (Audi RS / BMW M / AMG / Polestar OE), Textar, Pagid, ATE, Akebono and Bosch — these are the same brands that supply the original factory pads. No 'Apollo' / 'Friends' / unbranded ECE-R90 fakes. Every pad shown to you in its sealed OE box at handover.
- EPB scan-tool reset on every job — Modern Audi A4, BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class, Volvo XC60, Jaguar XE, Range Rover Velar all have rear electronic parking brakes. Pushing the rear piston back without putting the EPB in Service Mode breaks the motor (₹18,000-42,000 to replace). We have VCDS, ODIS, ISTA+, XENTRY, SDD/IDS, VIDA on the bench.
- Brake fluid bleed included — not extra — Hygroscopic brake fluid above 3% water content boils under hard braking and gives you a pedal that goes to the floor with no warning. We bleed fresh DOT 4 LV / Class 6 with a pressure bleeder on every pad job, free, and test boil point with a fluid tester before signing off.
- 12-month warranty + free pickup — Every pad job carries a 12-month warranty against early wear, judder, squeal and sensor failure. Free pickup and drop within Hyderabad ORR — Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Madhapur, Gachibowli, Hi-Tech City, Kondapur, Begumpet, Secunderabad, KPHB, Kukatpally, Manikonda, Kompally, Miyapur.
Frequently asked questions
How much does brake-pad replacement cost in Hyderabad?
For a Volkswagen Polo or Skoda Rapid, OEM front pads + sensor + fluid bleed runs ₹4,500-9,500. For an Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class or Volvo XC60, expect ₹8,500-16,000 for fronts (Brembo or ATE OE-spec). Rear pads with EPB reset add ₹5,500-14,000 depending on model. The most cost-effective option is a four-wheel bundle: ₹9,500-22,000 for sedans / hatchbacks, ₹16,000-32,000 for full-size luxury SUVs (Q7, X7, GLE, Range Rover). All quotes are fixed before work starts and include OEM-supplier pads, sensor refresh and DOT 4 fluid bleed.
Which brand of brake pads do you fit?
We only fit OEM-supplier brands: Brembo (Audi RS, BMW M, AMG, Volvo Polestar, Range Rover Sport SVR factory pads), Textar (BMW / Mercedes / VAG OE), Pagid (BMW / Mercedes / JLR), ATE (VW / Audi / Volvo OE), Akebono (Toyota / Lexus / BMW Performance), and Bosch (universal). We never fit unbranded 'ECE-R90' generics — they squeal, glaze the disc, and reduce stopping power. Every pad is shown to you in its sealed OE box before fitment.
Do I need to replace the discs at the same time as the pads?
Only if the discs are below their MIN thickness spec (etched on the disc bell — usually 22-24 mm front, 8-10 mm rear), have runout above 0.05 mm, or have visible cracks / scoring deeper than 0.5 mm. We measure every disc with a digital micrometer + dial gauge before quoting. About 60% of pad-only jobs need disc skimming or replacement at the same time on cars over 60,000 km. We'll never tell you the disc needs replacing if it doesn't — and we share the measurement readings with you.
Why do my new brake pads squeal?
Three reasons: (1) wrong friction compound for your car (generic NAO pads on a low-met European caliper) — fix is to refit OEM-supplier pads; (2) glazed disc surface from cold-bedding — fix is to skim or replace the disc; (3) missing or damaged anti-squeal shims — fix is to refit OE shims. Properly bedded-in OEM pads on a clean disc with anti-squeal shims do not squeal. We bed-in every job over 30 km of city + highway driving before we sign off.
What is EPB reset and why do you charge for it?
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) is the rear caliper motor on every modern Audi A4 / A6, BMW 3 / 5 / X3 / X5, Mercedes C / E / GLC / GLE, Volvo XC40 / XC60 / XC90, Jaguar XE / XF / F-Pace, Range Rover and most VW Tiguan / Skoda Kodiaq. Pushing the rear piston back with a C-clamp (without putting the EPB in Service Mode via the OEM scan tool) breaks the motor — you'll see a parking-brake fault on the dash and the only fix is to replace the EPB caliper (₹18,000-42,000 each). We don't charge extra for EPB reset — it's included in every rear-pad job. We just want you to know that any workshop NOT doing this is wrecking your calipers.
How long does a brake-pad job take?
Front pads only: 1.5-2 hours. All four pads + fluid bleed + EPB reset: 3-4 hours. Add 1 hour if discs need skimming on the lathe, or 1 day if discs need to be ordered. We share live photos of the old pads, sensor and disc condition before fitting the new parts so you can approve the work in real time.
What warranty do you give on brake pads?
12-month or 20,000 km warranty on the pads themselves (against premature wear, judder and friction failure), 12 months on wear sensors, and 6 months on the brake fluid bleed. Honoured at our KPHB workshop with free pad measurement and re-bedding if you ever feel the pedal isn't right. We log the OE pad part number, batch and supplier on every invoice.
Can I get pickup and drop for the car?
Yes — free pickup and drop anywhere within Hyderabad ORR. KPHB, Kukatpally, Madhapur, Gachibowli, Hi-Tech City, Kondapur, Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Begumpet, Secunderabad, Manikonda, Miyapur, Kompally, ECIL, Uppal. Call or WhatsApp +91 85558 24915 with your address and we'll send a driver.
