Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my brakes need replacing?
Common signs include squealing noises, warning lights, longer stopping distances, or vibration when braking. We can inspect and advise.
Should I replace pads and discs together?
Not always. If discs are within tolerance and undamaged, new pads alone may be fine. We'll advise based on condition.
What brands do you use?
We use quality aftermarket brands that meet or exceed OE specifications. Premium brands available on request.
How long do brake pads last?
Typically 25,000-50,000 miles depending on driving style, vehicle, and conditions. City driving wears pads faster.
