So my 2019 Wrangler just hit 60k km and the front brakes started grinding last week, which felt way too early for a vehicle I don't even drive that hard. A friend told me it's the heat and all the stop and go traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road that just chews through pads, but I'm not fully convinced. I ended up searching around and came across a leading Jeep brake pad specialist (https://jeepservicemussafah.ae/brake-pad-replacement/) in Mussafah that had a bunch of detailed guides on what to look for and why OEM vs aftermarket matters so much on these heavier Jeeps. Now I'm torn between just going to the dealer for peace of mind or trying an independent shop that actually knows what they're doing with lifted rigs and big tires. Anyone here replaced their pads recently? How many kms did you get out of the stock ones and did switching to a different brand make any real difference in dust or noise? Also curious if anyone has used the Mussafah shop and what the turnaround time was like.
