Brake Pads

Brake pads are required on every car that uses a disc braking system. They are a simple but very important car part that adheres to safe and sufficient braking performance.

What do Brake Pads do for Your Car?

Brake pads are one of the three main braking components that assist in slowing and stopping the momentum of your car, truck or SUV. They are made of either non-asbestos glass and rubber compounds known as organic brake pads, ceramic, or metallic compounds. Brake pads are designed to disintegrate over time which is due to the heated resistance caused when the pads rub against your car's rotor discs. How this works is by the pressurized movement of the brake calipers which are controlled by the brake pedal.

What Mileage Should I Replace my Brake Pads?

Brake pads will wear down over the years and will require replacement usually around 50,000 miles or more. If you notice visual thinning on the pads, experience unusual braking vibrations or pulling when stopping, you should have your brake pads inspected by a professional.
