You don't say whether the pads you have today are the original pads or aftermarket. If they are aftermarket aggressive pads they may squeal as long as you have them. If they are OEM pads, it is odd that they are making noise with 8mm left (I think new pad thickness is around 10mm). Whoever is assessing your brakes needs to explain why they want to replace pads with so much life left on them.

Agree with your comments, but I think you may be low-balling him. Front pads MSRP is about $85/set and rear pads are about $78/set from the stealership.
