I wanted to share this because I was stressed for two weeks before I did it, and maybe it helps someone else. My 2020 Maserati Levante started making a dry squeak when I stopped, and the pedal felt a bit heavy in the morning. I called the dealer first and the price they gave me made my stomach hurt. Then a colleague told me that a certified Maserati Levante brake service in Dubai does not have to cost as much as the main dealer, as long as they use the right parts and the right tools. I was nervous, so I did some homework first. I read a page about Maserati brake pad replacement, just to learn the words like pads, rotors and sensors, so I would not sound lost on the phone. I called three places and asked the same questions each time. The one I picked let me see the old pads, and they were worn more on the inside edge, which the technician said can happen on heavy cars. They also measured the rotors and told me I could keep them for now. I liked that nobody pushed me to buy extra things. The work took about three hours. I waited, drank two bad coffees, and then they reset the warning on the dash and took me for a short test drive. The pedal feels firm now and the squeak is gone. The price was lower than the dealer, but not super cheap, and I think that is a good sign. My only small complaint is that the car was a little dusty inside when I got it back. Now I am curious about a few things. How long do your Levante pads last with city driving? Do you change the brake fluid every two years like the book says, or only when someone reminds you? And did anyone notice a change in the pedal feel after switching to a different pad brand? Thanks for reading.
