Velar brakes pulsing at 60,000 km, help

    I'm hoping someone can give me some guidance here. I've got a 2020 Velar R-Dynamic that's been brilliant for the most part, but recently I've developed this annoying pulsing feeling through the brake pedal. It's most noticeable when I'm braking from around 80 km/h down to a stop, like on the way to work along Hessa Street. The car has just hit 60,000 km and I'm pretty sure it's still on the original pads from new. I took it to a garage near me in Al Quoz and they said the front rotors are warped and I need to replace everything. They quoted me around 4,500 dirhams which seems reasonable but I'm not sure if I trust their diagnosis. I'd really like to find some proper Dubai Range Rover brake pad replacement experts who can give me a second opinion and maybe recommend if I need rotors or just pads. The car is heavy, I get that, but 60,000 km seems a bit early for warped rotors right? Or is this normal for these cars? Also wondering if anyone has tried machining rotors instead of replacing them on a Velar. Any advice would be massively appreciated.
