With regenerative braking, you almost never need to replace brake pads.
Pros: regenerative braking
When I replaced my rear brake pads and rotors earlier this year - he straight up told me that the front pads were almost out but the rotors were good and since this particular dealership needed you to replace both together - he recommended a local German auto shop that would replace just the brake pads.
Pros: better deal on tires
Vehicle:
Audi A6
I know it’s not a Q7, but I’ve got a 2019 C8 A6 and recently had my read pads replaced by an independent, £275 but that also included my MOT at the same time.
Pros: pads replaced by independent
Vehicle:
Audi A6
They handle brake fade quite well. Did a run down tail of the dragon and had no issues.
Pros: handle brake fade well
Vehicle:
Audi S4
1.5 years ago a client was offered brake pads only with a 1 year warranty, no guarantee against noises or pulsations, or brake pads and rotors together with a 3 year warranty against noises and pulsations. They opted for the 1 year option on their fancy 2017 Audi because the rotors were stupid expensive.
Pros: 1 year warranty offered
Cons: no guarantee against noises
Vehicle:
Audi
Rear motor oil pump. Plus the famous Tesla control arms and heat pump. A brake pad also disintegrated into nothing, so that was a weird one.
Mileage: 170000 km
brakes (twice in 26k km, which is crazy stupid - the car didn't get a lot of mileage during COVID, but their brakes are stupid cheap and rust just looking at them when it rains).
Cons: replaced twice in 26k km, stupid cheap, rust easily
Vehicle:
Audi A5
Mileage: 26000 km
I've had a lot of warranty repairs for my 2018 Tesla model 3: both sides for front upper control arms, both side rear suspension, a gear oil motor leaked, and an inverter. Paid out-of-pocket (not warranty) for both sides front wheel bearings, front brake rotors and pads, rear brake rotors and pads, front windshield, roof glass, and now paint and rust work around the fenders and rocket panels.
Cons: a lot more than expected
Mileage: 72000 km
