This is likely why your lesser used car has more brake wear even "bad habits".....
C clamp, tire iron, car quickly off before the pads work again.
As one brake pad change at a auto shop and then you can do it yourself forever.

I'm having the pulsing when stopping as well.
Can be caused from heatI'm interested in the replies.
I've always found that pulsating brakes means rotors are warped.

I would not condemn your former mechanic.
The brake association may.
It bears looking into with a safety inspection.

My car brakes squeak, does it mean that it's time to replace the brake pads? I'm an amateur when it comes to vehicle. I would like to know if worn out brake pads are the culprit for squeaky brakes? Thank you.

A proper brake job requires that the correct damping pads and shims be used.
Generally brake squeaks are a sign of a poor brake job having been done some time earlier.
