Brake Pad change...wait for light?
Hi All,
My C2S has 33k miles, no brake work to date. Brakes have noticeable squeaks. Was wondering if most people are waiting for a warning from the car before changing? Or just changing pads at a certain mileage?
I don't track my car & don't drive her that hard. Also, for the first brake job, do people still "turn" rotors? Or is this something past it's time?
I'm still debating about investing in a low profile jack with those jack point stands for $300....or just taking to my local mechanic...
I'm still a little Leary of placing the car on 4 stands...

The dealership told me I would need to replace my brakes but that I could wait for the light to come on and even then they would be OK for another 1000 miles. I'm waiting for the light.
