Why Does My Vehicle Need Brake Pad Replacement?

To answer this question, we will first need to take a look at what the brake pads are. The majority of personal vehicles have front disc brakes, and most also have disc brakes on the rear. When you step on the brake pedal, and your vehicle has disc brakes, the calipers will squeeze together, causing the attached brake pads to press against the brake rotors. To keep the brake pads from being damaged by friction, they are equipped with a soft friction-resistant lining. It’s this lining that presses against the rotors, and it is designed to wear down. If you let the brake lining get too thin, the metal backing of the brake pads may be exposed. This could cause the rotors to suffer damage from friction.

How Often Does My Vehicle Need To Have Its Brake Pads Replaced?

Unlike many other services — including certain other brake services — there is no set mileage for brake pad replacement. Instead, this service is based on the condition of the brake pads. We can find out what state your brake pads are in by performing regular brake inspection services. When they inspect your brakes, our technicians will check the thickness and condition of your brake pads and let you know if they need to be changed.
