Grinding Noise After Brake Job

Last week I had the front pads replaced and rotors turned at a Subaru dealer. Now I hear a grinding noise as I slow down. Is this normal? How should I break in new pads? I have part numbers if that would make a difference.

Just take the car back to the dealer that did the brakes. You have a real problem and it will not get better with time.

Mine made a bit of noise after similar work was done.

It took about 80 miles of city driving for it to fade away.

So, it sort of depends on what you mean by "grinding noise".

Are we talking brillo pad on a metal sink, or "o my god there's a spoon in my disposal" noise...

Sounds like the rotors were not turned down all the way to the edge. The brake pads might be on the non turn down part. Take it back or wait till it rubs in.

But I would take it back.
