Ask ko din mekaniko kanina kung yun brake pad muna papalitan ko at saka na machine shop pero sabi masmaganda pagsabayin nalang.

If you can see and feel grooves on your brake rotors, yes it would need to be repaired in a machine shop. Alternative is to buy new rotors.

Just changing the brake pads will not fix the problem. In fact the new brake pads will not grip properly into the grooved brake rotor.

Bendix Metal Kings would offer more grip but would also eat up the rotors faster. I used to use metalkings before and I liked their bite, I have also already replaced my brake rotors because they got too thin due to the metalkings.

But the same issue will still be there... if the rotor is bad (grooved) it will still need to be worked smooth in a machine shop.

Rotors have a minimum operational thickness because heat dissipation becomes significantly poorer as rotors wear out. Check your owner's manual or shop manual for that. If the grooves are too deep and you're just 1-2 mm away from minimum thickness, save your machine shop money and just buy new rotors. Replace in Left-Right pairs.

rotor replacement will be the best solution IMO...you will save a little in refacing but your rotor will no longer be in its original specs although it will likewise solve your problem, my cent..
