The brake pads in your vehicle play a crucial role in the braking system, and it's vital not to overlook their importance. When you apply the brakes, these pads apply pressure to the rotors to create friction, ultimately bringing your vehicle to a stop. It's worth noting that brake pads have to work extremely hard, and quite frequently too. Stopping a car requires a significant amount of pressure, generating an enormous amount of heat which gradually wears down the brake pads over time. Hence, it's imperative to pay attention to your brake pads to ensure their longevity and your safety while driving.

When your brake pads are worn out, it can seriously compromise your ability to brake and put you and others in danger. That's why it's incredibly important to regularly check and evaluate the condition of your brake pads to make sure they are functioning properly. This way, you can rest assured that you're always safe on the road.

If you ever hear a high-pitched squeal coming from your brakes, it might be a sign that you need to change your brake pads. The reason for this sound is that many brake pads have a small metal piece that rubs against the disc when the pads are getting worn out. But don't wait for the squeal to get your brakes checked! We recommend having them inspected at every service to ensure they're in tip-top shape. Think of it like a routine check-up for your car's safety - just like you go to the doctor for your annual check-up.

We offer a Free 65 point vehicle inspection report with every car service. As part of our Vehicle Inspection Report we inspect the brake pads for wear and will tell you if they want replacing. We can also recommend the right pad for your driving style and conditions.

Car brake pads can last anywhere between 15,000 to 70,000 km's. The wear and tear on your brake pads can be affected by several factors including the weight you carry, how you drive, and the conditions you drive in. If your brake pads wear out too soon, your mechanic may suggest using brake pads that can handle high temperatures or ones that are more durable and suitable for your vehicle. For bigger vehicles like SUVs, 4WDs, trucks, and commercial vehicles, heavy-duty brake pads are usually recommended to handle the extra weight. Similarly, vehicles that frequently tow heavy loads are also good candidates for an upgrade to heavy-duty brake pads.

Some things are best left to the experts and this is one of them. You should never let anyone but a qualified professional touch something as key to your safety as your braking system.
