Brake Pad Maintenance

Brake pad maintenance begins with regular brake system inspections with pad measurement. Brake pads require regular measurement because they need replacement with a few millimeters left on the backing plate. Brake pads are a high-friction metallic composite that generates intense friction with the rotors bolted to the wheels. Pads wear down depending upon driving habits and the intensity of use. Brakes generally last between 30,000 to 70,000 miles but will ultimately wear down until nothing remains but the steel plate striking the rotors and causing problems, including a lack of stopping power and rotor damage.

Brake Pad Replacement Services

Front: Front brake pads might wear down faster if they handle more weight and consequential friction. The engine’s weight on the front axle and vehicle stopping physics often results in worn front pads with sufficient thickness remaining on the rear pads.
Rear: Rear brake pads might require exclusive replacement service if worn, but adequate thickness remains on the front pads. Service includes removing and installing new rear brake pads.
All: When brake pads wear down evenly, we replace all brake pads. This includes replacing the front and rear brake pads in a single service.

Worn Brake Pad Indicators

Noise: Grinding and squealing noises near the wheels are telltale signs of worn brake pads.
Brake Pedal Feeling: Needing to push the brake pedal closer to the floorboard, and a spongy/soft brake pedal often signal worn brake pads.
Brake Pad Warning Light: Equipped models illuminate a dashboard warning light due to worn brake pads.
