How Long Do Brake Pads Last?

Mechanic Inspecting Brake Pads and Rotors
 

When you’re looking to get your vehicle serviced or have some regular maintenance done, then you’re in the right place.

What Causes Brake Pad Wear? 

Brake pads, as you may already know, are the pieces of your braking system that make direct contact with brake rotors to cause friction and slow down your vehicle on the streets of Bellevue. This friction, and the heat caused by it, is exactly the reaction that causes brake pads to eventually wear down to the point of needing replacement.

There are a few things to pay attention to that can affect the health and longevity of your brake pads. So take a look at the list below for a breakdown of the factors that can impact how long brake pads last:

  • Driving/braking habits
  • Type of brake pad
  • Manual vs. automatic transmission
  • Local driving environment
  • Condition of other brake components

How Long Should Brake Pads Last?

Keep in mind that brake pads have a different rate of burn-off for each make and model and, more specifically, each brand and quality level of the brake pads themselves. But for the most part, you can expect the average set of brake pads to last at least about 20,000 miles on the low end or up to 75,000 miles on the high end.

How Long Do Ceramic Brake Pads Last?

That being said, different material brake pads have different lifespans. Typically only found on high-performance and luxury cars: ceramic brake pads! How long do ceramic brake pads last? They can perform reliably for up to 75,000 miles on average! If you’re looking for something a little more rugged, then give us a call to see if it’s possible to upgrade your vehicle with new brake pads.
