Prado brake shudder driving me up the wall, dealer quote made me laugh out loud, any decent indy shops in Dubai?
Quote from patrickreed on April 9, 2026, 3:54 amMy 2019 Prado has been shaking the steering wheel like a washing machine every time I brake from anything over eighty on the E311 and I finally broke down and called the dealer on Sheikh Zayed just to get a number, and when the guy said three thousand seven hundred dirhams for front pads and rotors I literally chuckled into the phone and then felt bad because he was just doing his job but come on, it's a Toyota not a spaceship. I've been looking around for a shop that won't treat a brake job like a mortgage payment and I stumbled on Royal Prince Auto Care's page for Toyota stuff while I was scrolling through my phone last night, you can Explore this offer now if you want to see the breakdown of what they actually replace versus just slapping pads on and calling it a day, but I'm mostly just trying to figure out if anyone here has actually had their Prado or Land Cruiser brakes done by them and if the aftermarket discs they use hold up to the Dubai heat without warping again in six months. I don't mind paying for good work but I'm not about to fund someone's summer vacation just to stop my steering wheel from doing the samba every time I approach a red light on Al Wasl Road.
