Brake Pad Replacement Service

Whether the brake pads on your car are made of organic, metallic, composite, or ceramic materials, they need to get replaced at some point. The reason for this is that they wear thin and lose the ability to stop the car quickly enough. They can also wear out completely, which can cause many other issues. Fortunately, there are some signs that help you understand that you may need new brake pads.

Several "Symptoms" Indicating That a Brake Pads Replacement Is Necessary

If you notice any of the following signs, you need to get your car checked:

• Squealing noise - This noise appears because the brake pad wears down, the indicator starts scraping against the rotor.
• Clicking noise - If the bolts, clips, or pins that are used to keep the pads steady become loosened, they will begin to rattle. As a result, you will start hearing a clicking sound whenever the brake pedal is pushed or released.
• It takes more than time to bring the car to stop than it used to - This problem is also called "brake fade".
• The brake pedal vibrates when you press it - If you keep ignoring this issue, the ability to brake safely may be compromised.

How Often Should You Get Your Brake Pads Inspected?

Whether you go to a professional mechanic or do it yourself, it is good to check your brake pads each time you rotate your tires - about every 6 months. But as for replacement, on average, brake pads need to be replaced every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. However, this number can be different depending on your driving style and conditions.
