My beloved twenty year old motor was entered into a main dealer for a Manufacturers 'Safety Recall' recently. It didn't cost me anything so cannot imagine the garage was overjoyed to get this job.
After collecting the car a couple of days later, a chaffing/grinding
noise was coming from the front.
My local garage (a different garage) said the Front Brake Caliper was sticking and needed replacing, which i have had done.
I don't like to think i have a suspicious nature, but have twice caught garage chains telling me i needed work doing which i knew for a fact was
them trying to hoodwink me.
Now a week later i have the same kind of noise coming from the front.
I'm wondering is it just bad luck another caliper is sticking or could a squirt of brake cleaner or similar in the right (or wrong ) place cause another caliper very conveniently for them to stick ?
Another couple of hundred pounds for yet another caliper would be bad
news for me at the moment. Thanks for any advice.

Was it really that bad? Did you check for movement?

The only time I have heard grinding noise is metal to metal contact,
where the pads have come into contact with the disk, or on one occasion
when I was in a hurry actually put the pad in the wrong way round.
