I just had my brakes and rotors
replaced (2 weeks ago) and there is a HORRIBLE squealing when I apply
brakes at slow stops (sounds like a city bus) so I took it back to
mechanic and he rechecked the brakes and they were fine
– said it just happens sometimes and he could upgrade the pads but it
might not help. I just took it to VOLVO dealership and they said the
only way to stop the squealing is to replace my NEW rotors and pads with
certified VOLVO pads/rotors. Is this true? I would hate to pay for all
this work over again!
Answer: No. Any after market pads and rotors that
are approved will work. The dealership just wants your money. If these
were new rotors and pads they will take awhile to seat to each other. If
the rotors came from a wrecking yard you may have a problem but you still don’t need to pay premium for original Volvo parts. Take it to the shop that did the work if it does not stop and make them do it over before you drive past the warranty on the work. Don’t let them try to charge you more. They are responsible to do the work
right if you bring it back in reasonable time. But my guess is they
just have not seated yet. That just means wearing down enough for the
surfaces to mate without noise.
