Question:
I recently have done a total inspection. They recomended to change the brake pads and rotors. I choose some ceramic pads and just leveling my old rotors. Now, i don't have brakes at all. The car is stopping from 30 mi/h in 5 sec. They are looking for 2 days at the brake sistem and told me that the car's brake are OK, and i should run the car a couple more days to let the pads and rotors to work better.
Please advice.

Ceramic brake pads are better for your rotors, however, they take a few miles to break in. The first few stops they will fade and feel like nothing is there until they heat up a few times or so, and then they are fine. I usually buy metallic pads because of this fact.Hotwiring a car, how to shut car off afterwards?

If nothing is better, then have your mechanic switch your pads back to metallics. They cost a few dollars more, but are most likely recommend for your make and model car.
After 2400 KM, my car is half quart low on oil, is that normal? is it because of oil quality?
possibly you need to drain and refill the brake fluid or bleed the fluid if it has air in it. Ceramic pads are known for their poor cold braking, but when they are warmed up, they grab fast and hard. No one told you that before going from those to metal pads?Will engine oil still in the container freeze. if it does is it any good?
to break in pads you need to 30/30/30.30 stops from 30 mph in 30 minutes. find a big parking lot or quiet back road...Are any of the auto car maintenance chains reliable ??
i know whenever i change my pads,i have to drive a while until the get hardened up and set to the rotors.More Questions & Answers ...
