When you’re looking to get your vehicle serviced or have some regular maintenance done, then you’re in the right place. But if you aren’t sure where your brakes stand, then it might be a good time to get them inspected by our professional team in the service department. So if you’re wondering: “How long should brake pads last?” then learn more here with us at Schworer Volkswagen in Lincoln.
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:
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.
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.
When was the last time you had your brakes inspected? We want you and your passengers to be safe out on the Omaha and Kearney roads. Schedule a service appointment at Schworer Volkswagen and review our ongoing service offers to save on those important repairs and maintenance appointments. Then contact us when you’re ready to bring your vehicle in!
