How Often Are Brake Repairs Needed?
Brake pads receive a lot of direct wear as they press down to slow the axles. The lifespan varies-some brake pads lose their grip after 25,000 miles, others last up to 70,000 miles. Most fall somewhere in between. Check your owner's manual or ask your auto service provider for more information about typical expectations for your car's brake pads.
Other brake repairs are harder to anticipate because they're not associated with a particular distance traveled-that's why it's important to know what signs to look for.
Common Signs That Your Brakes Need Attention
Brakes that require attention will often signal that there's a growing problem. In addition to squealing sounds, a burnt rubber smell suggests brake issues.
The feel of your brakes provides another important clue. If you notice that you have to press hard to get a sufficient response, the brake pads are likely worn down. Braking that feels unusually firm or spongy also suggests that replacement parts are in order.
