When to change the pads?
My both front and rear are around 6.5mm, is it the time?

never changed before, will not DIY, how much does it cost, just change the pads front and rear (bring my new pad in).

[SKM_87]

no, 3mm is the usal for changin them

[HoldenAstra]

3mm? the google result is 1/4 inch...

do the AH astra OE pads have wear indicator?

[gslrallysport]

Are you measuring overall pad thickness the same way new pads are measured (including backing plate), or just the material left?

[HoldenAstra]

the material left, not including backing plate

[gslrallysport]

The pad is only about half worn, don't get too carried away then...

[HoldenAstra]

6 MM pad is still a lot of pad.

Spend the next month or so researching and chasing up replacement pads. Plenty of info on here for choices.
