Why Brake Pads and Discs Matter
Brake pads and discs (also known as rotors) work together to stop your vehicle. When you press the brake pedal, the brake pads clamp onto the discs, creating friction that slows down the wheels. Over time, this friction wears both components down.
If ignored, exhausted brake pads can ruin the brake discs and make you lose control of stopping securely. This is why brake disc and pad replacement becomes crucial not just for your vehicle’s performance but also for your safety.
Signs You Need a Brake Pad and Disc Replacement
Made of cordierite, carborundum or aluminum titanate.
At Hydroflush, we suggest that you have your brakes inspected if you have any of the following:
Squealing or grinding sounds during braking
Vibration in the steering wheel or brake pedal
Burning smell while operating
Long-winded stopping
Dashboard warning lights
Once brake pads and discs are replaced in a timely manner, they no longer damage your braking system and get to keep you safe on the road.
The Brake Pad and Disc Replacement Process
Curious about what goes into a brake disc and pad replacement service at Hydroflush? Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
Inspection – We start by inspecting your entire braking system, measuring the levels of wear on the brake pads and discs.
Disassembly of Old Components – Old, worn-out brake pads and discs are carefully removed with specialized equipment.
Installation of New Parts – We replace high-quality, OEM-spec or upgraded brake pads and discs.
System Check and Test Drive – We test your brake system after installation to make sure it works perfectly under actual driving conditions.
This is accomplished with efficiency, safety, and maximum performance in mind.
How Often Should You Replace Brake Pads and Discs?
There is no single answer when it comes to the lifespan of your braking components. Brake pads are usually good for 25,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on factors like driving habits, vehicle type, and road conditions. Brake discs generally last longer, but they can wear out faster if they’re paired with worn or uneven pads.
At Hydroflush, we recommend scheduling a brake inspection at least once a year—especially if you frequently drive in heavy city traffic, where stop-and-go conditions accelerate wear. If you’re wondering how much to replace brake pads and discs, the cost can vary based on your car model and the quality of parts used, but timely replacement is always more affordable than risking further damage or unsafe braking.
