What should a basic car service include?

The longer you drive it the more expense it will be to fix. You need to replace the rotor and caliper and disc pads. If it's the front you need to replace both sides. If it is the rear you'll need to do both sides. I'm surprized it hasn't totally locked up on you. Get it fixed as soon as possible before it becomes really dangerous.

STOP!DON'T GO ANY FURTHER! yes it is dangerous, it could cause a fire, an accident, loss of fluid(brake) causing no brakes at all, PLEASE STOP and get this fixed immediately. Brakes are no laughing matter and the major cause of most avoidable accidents because ppl don't pay any attention to them until its too late.

Yes it's dangerous, if the caliper lets go you won't have any brakes, the brake system is a closed system so if one part of it let's go none of the brakes work.

YES. The only driving you should do, is to a repair shop. The grinding you hear is your brakes being torn up, which means improper braking and a possible accident.

you could make the problem worse. the most important thing is you are only braking with only one tyre and if you need to stop fast you have no hope. the other thing is if your brake caliper does come off the fluid will leak out and you will have no brakes whatsoever. get it fixed fast its very dangerous
