Frequently asked questions about brake pads

How often should I replace brake pads?

Brake pads typically need replacing every 20,000 to 70,000 miles, but this depends on your driving habits and the type of brake pads you use. Regular inspections can help determine the right time for replacement.

Can I replace the brake pads myself?

Yes, if you have the necessary tools and mechanical knowledge, you can replace brake pads yourself. However, unless you’re a trained mechanic, it’s safer and more efficient to entrust the work to a trained professional.

How do I know my brake pads are worn?

Worn brake pads often cause squealing or grinding noises, reduced braking performance, and vibrations when braking. Visual inspections can also reveal thin brake pads that need replacing.

How do I know I need new brake discs?

You may need new brake discs if you experience vibrations when braking, see grooves or score marks on the disc, or notice a longer stopping distance. A professional inspection can confirm if the brake discs need replacing.

How often do you need to change your brake discs?

Brake discs last longer than brake pads and typically need replacing every 50,000 to 70,000 miles. The exact lifespan depends on driving conditions and habits.

How can I check my brake pads to see if they are worn?

To check your brake pads yourself:

Look through the wheel spokes: You should see the brake pad pressed against the brake disc.
Measure the thickness: If the pad is less than 3mm (about 0.12 in) thick, it needs replacing.
Listen for noises: Squealing or grinding noises indicate worn pads.

If you spot anything unusual or out of the ordinary, make sure you speak to a mechanic as soon as possible.

What is brake fade?

Brake fade occurs when the braking system overheats and loses its ability to generate friction. This can happen after continuous hard braking, such as driving down a steep hill. A brake fade reduces braking performance and can be dangerous.

How much does a brake pad and brake disc replacement cost?

Replacing both brake pads and discs can cost between £200 and £500 per axle, depending on the vehicle and type of parts used. Get multiple quotes to make sure you’re getting the best deal.

Can I drive with worn brake pads?

Driving with worn brake pads can compromise your safety and damage other braking components in your vehicle. It is best to replace them as soon as you notice they are worn.

Are there different types of brake pads?

Yes, there are several types of brake pads:

Ceramic brake pads: Known for being quiet and producing less dust.
Semi-metallic brake pads: Durable and effective but can be noisy.
Organic brake pads: Made from non-metallic materials, they are quieter but wear out faster.

Each type has its pros and cons, so choose based on your driving needs.

What is the difference between brake pads and brake discs?

Brake pads are components that press against the brake discs (rotors) to create friction and slow the car. Brake discs are the rotors attached to the wheels that the brake pads clamp onto. Both are essential for effective braking.

How can I extend the life of my brake pads?

To extend the life of your brake pads:

Drive smoothly: Avoid hard braking whenever possible.
Maintain a safe distance: This reduces the need for sudden stops.
Regular inspections: Check your brake pads regularly to catch wear early. Inspection should form part of your yearly service.

How long does a brake pad replacement take?

A brake pad replacement typically takes about 1 to 2 hours per axle, depending on the vehicle and the mechanic's experience. If additional repairs are needed, it might take longer.

Can I upgrade my brake pads?

Yes, you can upgrade to high-performance brake pads for better braking performance. Consider options like ceramic or semi-metallic pads if you need improved durability and stopping power.

What should I do if my brake warning light comes on?

If the brake warning light comes on, it usually indicates that your brake pads are worn or there is another issue with the braking system. To avoid progressive damage to your vehicle, get your brakes checked out by a professional as soon as you can.

Why do my brakes squeal?

Brakes can squeal for several reasons:

Worn brake pads: Low pads can cause squealing.
Glazed pads: Overheating can glaze the pads and cause noise.
Dust and debris: Accumulation can cause squealing.

Regular maintenance and timely replacements can prevent squealing.

What is a brake pad sensor?

A brake pad sensor is a small device that alerts you when your brake pads are worn and need replacing. It activates the brake warning light on the dashboard when the pads reach a certain wear level.

Can a mobile mechanic replace my brake pads?

Yes, a mobile mechanic can replace your brake pads at your home or workplace. This service offers convenience and ensures your brakes are in good condition without needing to visit a garage.

Can worn brake pads damage other parts of the braking system?

Yes, driving with worn brake pads can damage other parts of your vehicle, such as the brake discs and calipers. This can lead to more expensive repairs, so it’s best to have any issues seen to as soon as you notice them.

How do I know if my brake discs need replacing?

Signs that your brake discs need replacing include vibrations when braking, grooves, or score marks on the disc, and a longer stopping distance. A professional inspection can confirm if the discs need replacement.

What should I do if my car judders when braking?

If your car judders when braking, it could indicate warped brake discs or unevenly worn brake pads. Have your braking system inspected and repaired by a professional.

Are brake pads covered under warranty?

Brake pads are usually considered a wear-and-tear item and probably won’t be covered under standard warranties. However, some premium brake pads come with a limited warranty, so it’s worth checking the details when you buy.

What’s the difference between original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket brake pads?

OEM brake pads: Made by the vehicle manufacturer or an approved supplier. They match the original specifications.
Aftermarket brake pads: Made by third-party manufacturers. They can offer a wider range of options but vary in quality.

Both options have their pros and cons. Talk to a mechanic to choose the best for your needs.
