How often should brake pads be replaced?

Most brake pads last 30,000 to 70,000 miles depending on driving style, vehicle weight, and pad material. We measure pad thickness at every oil change so you never get caught by surprise.

Can I just replace pads without new rotors?

Sometimes. If your rotors are within manufacturer thickness spec and have no deep scoring or heat damage, we can resurface them. If not, replacing them is cheaper long-term than premature pad wear.

How much does a brake job cost?

A typical front-axle brake job with pads and rotors runs $280–$480 depending on the vehicle. You'll always get a written estimate before we start.
