I replaced my roommate's front rotors on his 03 Escort ZX2 a couple weeks ago and was just wondering how a typical shop would bed in the pads on new rotors? I'm pretty sure they wouldn't take out someone's car and do several hard stops.
Since I've been working on cars I always do the full bedding in process and the brakes seem great afterwards. I just had him try a couple stops when he could, but I know it wasn't near enough to be considered bedding in.
They seem fine now after being driven on for a while, but its still not the same feel as before... will it just take a while or should I still take his car and bed them in?
