MetroWest traffic patterns and performance driving place higher thermal loads on pads and rotors, shortening intervals between services. Your 2018 Ford Shelby-Gt350 should have pad thickness checked during routine visits to avoid metal-to-rotor contact. We’ll measure and document remaining pad life at each inspection.
