Why Does My Nissan Need Brake Pad Replacement Service?

To answer this, let's first look at what brake pads do. When you step on the brake pedal, the brake calipers tighten. Brake pads are attached to these calipers; when the calipers are tightened, the brake pads press against the rotors to bring your Nissan to a stop. But the brake pads themselves are made of both a metal backing (the part that's attached to the calipers) and a lining. This lining is softer and friction-resistant to avoid damaging the rotors and other components, as well as to avoid friction damage. This means that it will wear down long before the other components do. If you let it wear down completely, the metal backing will be what presses against the brake rotors, and this metal-on-metal grinding can cause the rotors to become warped and otherwise broken.

How Often Should I Have My Brake Pads Replaced?

The frequency with which you'll need your brake pads replaced really depends on several factors, including your personal driving and braking styles. That's why we don't have one recommended interval for brake pad replacement. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to Bommarito Nissan Hazelwood for a regular brake inspection. Our technicians will check your brake pad lining depth and let you know when the lining becomes too thin.

How Can I Make My Brake Pads Last Longer?

One of the best ways to extend the lifespan of your brake pads is to brake carefully. Rather than waiting till the last moment and slamming on your brakes, you should come to a slow stop. In addition, removing excess weight from your vehicle can help the brake pads last longer.
