Same amount of pad remaining on the other side of the rotor. The pads on the other side of the car are in the same condition. The rotor is a little sad and rusty, but that’s because I don’t drive this car very much these days. It’s difficult to get a good look at the rear pads, but I can feel with my fingers that they still have some meat left on them and are also wearing symmetrically. I don’t understand why this mechanic would tell me I need brakes when it’s not difficult for me to check for myself. Brake fluid level is good and car doesn’t have trouble stopping.
