Repair shop tells me the front brakes are at 9%. At the same time, they say it's not urgent and can be dealt with on my next scheduled service. What does 9% really mean and how concerned should I be? Thank you.

MasterYou probably have over 4mm of pad material remaining and should get you to the next oil change.
