Brakes & Rotors

Brakes

Your brake pads are one of the most important safety components on your vehicle. Every time you step on the brake pedal, the pads press against the rotors to help slow your vehicle down. Over time, this causes wear and if left unchecked, worn pads can lead to serious problems like reduced stopping power, damage to your rotors, and unsafe driving conditions.

🚨 Signs You May Need New Brake Pads:

Squeaking or squealing when braking
Grinding noises (often means pads are completely worn down)
Longer stopping distances
A “soft” or vibrating brake pedal
Brake warning light on your dashboard

In general, brake pads should be replaced every 30,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on your driving style, vehicle type, and conditions. But inspections every 6 months or at every oil change are highly recommended.

✅ Pro Tip: Catching worn pads early can save you from needing to replace your rotors too.

Rotors

Rotors are the metal discs that your brake pads clamp onto to stop your car. While they last longer than brake pads, rotors can wear down, warp, or become uneven over time especially if you’ve driven for too long on worn brake pads. Damaged rotors reduce braking efficiency and can lead to serious safety concerns if ignored.

🔧 Signs You May Need New Rotors:

Vibration or pulsing when braking
Grooves or scoring on the rotor surface
Loud grinding sounds
Vehicle pulling to one side when braking
Increased stopping distance

Rotors typically need to be replaced every 50,000 to 70,000 miles, but aggressive driving, heavy loads, or high-speed braking can shorten that lifespan. Sometimes rotors can be resurfaced, but many newer vehicles use thinner rotors that are better off being replaced.

🛑 Your brakes are only as good as the condition of your rotors. If your vehicle shakes or vibrates when stopping, it’s time to have them inspected.
