Your brake pads and rotors are what your vehicle uses to slow down. Without them, you would have to wait until your vehicle loses its momentum on its own or you crash into something. Our brakes are constantly being used to control the speed of our cars and make a quick stop when we need to. This takes a toll on the brakes and rotors. Rotors are designed to last longer than brake pads, usually lasting about 3-4 brake replacements.

The lifespan of your brakes will vary based on the type of brakes you have, how often you drive, and your driving habits. A rule of thumb is that your brakes will last 20,000 to 30,000 miles. Some signs that indicate when you need to replace your brakes, besides the miles, include high pitch screeching or grinding noise while stopping and needing more time to stop. If you notice these signs, stop by your local auto mechanic to get them checked and replace them if needed.
