How Long Do Brake Pads Last?

Arguably, one of the most important components of your vehicle is the brakes. But how long do brake pads last? While this answer varies due to a variety of factors, generally, you can expect about 20,000 miles at the very least. This number can be higher or lower depending on your driving style, vehicle type, and environmental factors in Gardner so be sure to keep that in mind.

Learn more about how long brake pads should last, and be sure to contact our service center team with any questions or concerns about your Leominster vehicle. We’re here to ensure your vehicle is running smoothly as you make your way around Lancaster.

 

 

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 Fitchburg. 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 factors that can increase or decrease the rate of use of brake pad components. Some of which, like how hard you regularly apply the brake pedal, are totally within your control! Other, less controllable factors such as outside temperatures and road conditions can also negatively impact the brake pads. Check out 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?

With the above information in mind, it should be noted 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. However, you can expect the average set of brake pads to last at least about 20,000 miles on the low endor up to 75,000 miles on the high end.

How Long Do Ceramic Brake Pads Last?

How long do ceramic brake pads last? They can perform reliably for up to 75,000 miles on average! Call us at (978) 345-1800 and ask about a potential ceramic brake pads upgrade!
