Do pads wear at the same rate as disks?
Discussion
Got to admit I am a complete noob in these things.
My assumption would be that pads would wear at a far faster rate than disks, however I took my Yaris in for it's 60 000 mile service and they say both need doing. I'm rather surprised the pads lasted that long to be honest but I would have thought the discs would have lasted longer.
Given new pads and discs do you think they will ask me to bed them in ? Or is it not needed nowadays.

I generally replace the discs on our own cars every second set of pads unless the disc thickness is still well within allowed tolerances.
They will need time to bed in - couple of hundred miles should be plenty & avoid heavy braking if possible - & its not unusual to notice the pedal seems a bit vaguer than usual.
