FAQs

The lifespan of your car brakes depends on several factors, including your driving habits, the quality of the brake components, and the type of driving you do. In general, however, you can expect your vehicle’s brake pads to last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles.

There are a few signs that can indicate you need new brakes, including squeaking or grinding noises when braking, a vibrating steering wheel and decreased responsiveness when engaging the brake pedal. If your vehicle is showing any of these signs, it’s important to have it looked at by a qualified technician.

While it’s technically possible to drive with brake problems, it’s not recommended and can be extremely dangerous to you and other road users. Driving with brake problems can result in reduced braking performance, uneven and increased wear on brake components.
