Hit the Brakes!
You probably don’t give your car’s brakes much thought until, of course, you do. Typically, you’ll notice a squeal (designed by automakers) that alerts you to low or worn brakes. Other signs of worn brakes include a longer stopping distance, a pulsating brake pedal, or a dashboard warning light. Or, when you go for an inspection and are told that your brakes are worn and won’t pass safety inspection. You also notice that your brakes are mushy or don’t feel as firm as they should. Either way, every car component or part has a lifespan.
Brake Lifespan.
Most mechanics agree that auto brake pads and rotors (the two primary brake components) have a lifespan of as little as 30,000 miles and may last as long as 70,000 miles max. Your car’s brake life depends on your driving habits, road conditions, city versus highway miles, and brake components used. In St. Louis, your brakes can get quite the daily workout in stop-and-go traffic, rough roads, sudden stops, and just the daily grind. Rest assured, our expert mechanics at Cyclone Car Care are well-equipped to handle any brake issues.
Turn The Rotors?
It was possible to “turn the rotors” and avoid replacing them each time a brake job was performed. That’s no longer true. Today’s brake pads are thinner and cannot be “turned.”
What’s It Going To Cost Me?
The big question is always: What’s it going to cost me? The national average per axle (front or rear) is typically between $250.00-$500.00
Contrary to popular belief, rear brakes can wear out as fast as front brakes, so you may need to replace one or both soon.
