Brake Service
What is the best way to prevent brake failure as well as major and costly brake repair? Brake service and maintenance. That’s right. With as complex as your braking system and as many components as it utilizes, it is important to inspect and maintain each part in order to keep the system functioning as a whole.
At Scotty’s Automotive we provide a comprehensive brake maintenance service that covers all the bases so you can feel good knowing that your brakes will perform the way you expect them to.
Brake Pad Replacement
Your brake pads are under a lot of pressure to ensure that your vehicle comes to a stop when you apply your foot to the pedal. With that pressure comes friction and wear and tear. If you put off replacing your brake pads, it will only lead to brake failure and a potentially dangerous situation.
While most brake pads last to the 50,000 mile mark, some need to be replaced as soon as 25,000 miles and some can last all the way up to 75,000 miles. The actual life expectancy of your brake pads is determined by the type of brake pad your vehicle is equipped with as well as your braking and driving habits.
If you don’t know how much longer your brake pads are going to go, consult with one of our ASE-certified mechanics today. We can inspect your pads for wear and tear and give you an idea of when you need to schedule a replacement.
