I just took my car in for an oil change at the dealership. I have 25K Miles and the dealer says I have 4mm of brake lining left on all 4 wheels. He said I better replace the brakes soon. The dealer quoted me $3K for all the brakes, I think at that price its time to put in some elbow grease and do it myself.

1. How much lining does the fresh pad have?
2. I think 4mm is still a lot left? Am I wrong?
3. I drive like a grandma and I never really track my car, is 25K miles too early?
