Common questions
Do I need new rotors every time I get pads?
Not always. If your rotors are thick enough and not warped or scored, we'll leave them alone. We measure them and show you the numbers.
Is it safe to drive with squeaky brakes?
A light squeal is often the wear indicator telling you pads are getting low — schedule soon. Grinding means metal-on-metal: book right away, because it gets more expensive fast.
How long do brake pads last?
Usually 30,000–70,000 miles depending on how and where you drive. City driving wears them faster than highway miles.
