How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

• Brake pad life depends on driving style and conditions; many drivers see 30,000–70,000 miles, but inspect intervals should be at least annually or during every oil change.
• Rotors usually last longer than pads but should be checked whenever pads are replaced; uneven wear, scoring, or vibration are reasons to resurface or replace rotors.
• Our service technicians document wear and recommend the most cost-effective solution to preserve braking performance and prevent premature failures.
• To protect your investment and avoid higher long-term costs, schedule service when you notice noise, vibration, or reduced braking response; ask about financing and current service specials.
