How do?

Ummm...took my car in today to get my rotors and brake pads replaced. When I picked the car up I noticed that there was and still is a red substance on the pads/calipers. Can someone please tell me what it is? Please, no guessing! Thanks.

<U>I realize that this may be a noob question. Pre-apology. </U>

 

It's a grease they put on the back of the pads to keep them from squeaking.

 

yep, grease, exactly what i was thinking when i read the title of the thread.

 

GREAT THANKS!!

H-T = Quick response. I love it.

 

Will it eventually fade away as i break in the pads??

 

yep it will all go away depending how much they put on there if there is alot of it on there just wipe it away. It wont hurt anything

your lucky they put that on, some places dont, i always put it on the cars i work on so i dont have to listen to them complain

 

either that or you ran over an animal and the blood squirted up there.

Actually, that's happened to me before. It was a pigeon that refused to get out of the way. So, I had to give it to em'.
