I worked many years ago at a VW dealership, So I maintain all my cars at home using run of the mill tools myself although, I can get access to most advanced equipment if need be. Rather than buy newish small cars with low mileage which for most people would be a good idea, I do things different I have a liking for older prestige cars with a few miles on the clock although do love their refinements and smoothness and power although this can be pricey if you can't do your own maintenance on your own car. I have owned my older BMW e90 for 2 years now, mind you, it's in very good condition indeed but the miles have crept up and I noticed a wobble and pull on the steering wheel only when pressing the brakes, I had a good idea what was wrong with living in the UK the use of road salt and very wet driving conditions cause the brake pads to seized up in the caliper bracket (( a very common problem )) regarding brake issues. I felt it was time for a full service on my front brakes including new fluid change.
Here bellow is a video of the job I did at home, I found it rather satisfying.
This is not me in the video bellow I used this to show you the job I did. although, definitely needs to be done regarding safety.
see bellow, although not me in the video.

Taking the time to clean all the sliding surfaces on the caliper bracket this holds the pads and always seize's up and not allowing the pads to slide freely.
Using high temp grease on the sliding points back of the pads etc will help the pads last their full-service life and prevent break squeal and seized pads, and stop premature brake disc wear.
