    Is my Holden Astra going through its brake discs?

    Holden Holden Advice Holden Astra Holden Astra Advice Holden Astra 2015

    My 2015 Holden Astra has only done 22,000 km, but I was told at my last service that my discs needed machining. To me, this seems a bit excessive. Has anyone else had this issue, or should I fight for Holden to look into it.

    It is low for the discs to require machining, but the Astra is a European car and they tend to have a higher brake wear rate than cars from Asia.

    Have the dealer/mechanic show you the measurements of thickness they took that demonstrates the need. With brakes being considered a wear and tear item it’s a long shot if you’re thinking Holden might come to the party with the cost of the machining.
