Finally found a place that actually knows Land Rover brakes

I've been through three different garages in the last year trying to get my 2016 Range Rover's brake judder sorted, and every single one of them just threw new pads and rotors at it without actually figuring out why the problem kept coming back after a few months. The first place used cheap aftermarket parts that squealed like crazy, the second one didn't properly torque the caliper bolts and I had a weird vibration at high speeds, and the third one just told me it was "normal for heavy SUVs" which I knew was absolute nonsense because my car never used to do this. I was getting so frustrated that I almost just gave up and took it to the dealer, but a fellow Land Rover owner at the petrol station recommended I check out https://brakepadreplacementdubai.ae/brands/land-rover/ after he had a great experience with them sorting out a similar issue on his Sport. I called them up, explained the whole saga, and the guy on the phone immediately started asking the right questions about whether the judder happened at high or low speeds, whether it was worse when the brakes were hot or cold, and whether I'd had the brake fluid flushed recently. They booked me in, did a thorough inspection, and found that the problem wasn't actually the pads or rotors at all, but a sticking caliper piston on the front passenger side that was causing uneven wear and heat spots on the rotor. They rebuilt the caliper, replaced the fluid, and put on genuine pads and rotors, and now my braking is smoother than it's been in years. I'm honestly so relieved to finally have this sorted because it was driving me crazy and I was starting to lose confidence in the car. If anyone else is dealing with persistent brake issues on their Land Rover, my advice is to find a specialist who actually understands these systems rather than just guessing like the other places did.
