Two of the most common aspects we deal with during brake service is replacing the rotors and pads. So, how often should these vital performance parts be swapped out?
For the pads, having them replaced every 30,000 to 35,000 miles, depending on driving conditions and your driving style. You can wait a bit longer with the rotors, around 30,000 to 70,000 miles. The type of vehicle you own will determine whether your pads and rotors should be replaced during the short end or long end of these estimates. Your owner’s manual will provide specific recommendations for your car’s make and model.
Essentially, the more you ask from your brakes, the more repairs and replacements they'll require over time. So, if you have a heavy-duty truck towing large trailers or a sports car coming to abrupt stops from great speeds, you’ll need to replace parts of your vehicle’s braking system sooner rather than later.
You can look for a few signs suggesting your vehicle requires a brake repair. These are the most prevalent symptoms:
- Squealing or screeching noises when you brake
- Your car’s brake dashboard indicator light turns on
- Vibrating or pulsing of the brake pedal or steering wheel when braking
- Less than 1/4th of an inch left on the brake pad
If you’re unsure if your brakes need service, our technicians are happy to take a look and make a recommendation based on the condition of your vehicle’s brakes.
You don't have to go far from your Glen Allen, Rockville, or Ashland, VA, residence to receive a brake repair. Just use the handy online scheduling tool on the Richmond Ford West site, and we'll gladly service your model as needed!
