Yes. Many unauthorized workshops use:

Fake o r low-grade pads, often packaged as “OEM”.

Brake pads made from recycled o r low-friction materials, which deteriorate quickly.

These pads may last under 10,000 km, squeal frequently, and cause damage to rotors and calipers. Always request genuine parts o r branded aftermarket options e.g., Bosch, Wagner, Brembo.
