Frequently Asked Questions About Brake Service

When it comes to your brakes, you want to make sure that they are fully functioning as they are your most basic and most important safety feature in your vehicle. Below are some frequently asked questions from our Lancaster, OH drivers about your brakes.

How long do brakes last?

You can typically see a few clear indications that it's time for a brake job. Once your brake pads wear to the point of needing a replacement, you'll likely hear a screeching noise or a squeal when you apply the brakes. When this happens, you must get your brake pads replaced so that your vehicle can run at its highest performance.

How often do brake rotors need to be changed?

Your rotors don't need to be replaced as frequently as your brake pads do. Instead of every 10-20,000 miles, you don't have to replace your rotors for approximately 50,000-70,000 miles.

How often do brake pads need to be changed?

On average, brake pads can last anywhere between 25,000-65,000 miles but it is advantageous to replace your brake pads every 10,00-20,000 miles. However, if you experience the squealing sound, mentioned above you'll want to make sure that you bring your vehicle into our service center. Otherwise you can check them visually by ensuring there is at least a quarter-inch of material left on your brake pad by looking through the spokes of your wheels.
