What Is a Brake Pad Replacement Service?

When the brake pads get worn out, they start to underperform and require a brake pad replacement service. The brake pads are made from friction providing material, and through regular use, they lose thickness due to wear. Their role is to stop the wheels from rotating, allowing the vehicle to slow down or stop when you press the brake pedal. Most types of brake pads are made from ceramic or metallic materials. The material is softer than the material used to make brake rotors. Therefore the brake pads tend to wear faster and require regular replacement service.

Why Do You Need to Replace Brake Pads?

For a relatively inexpensive replacement service, brake pads provide reliability, safety, and performance to the brake system. With worn-out brake pads, the safety and performance of the vehicle can be severely compromised. Also, worn-out brake pads can damage the rotors, requiring more expensive services, such as brake rotor replacement.

Signs of Worn-Out Brake Pads

Here are a few common signs of worn-out brake pads:

Spongy or stiff brake pedal
Vibrations in the brake pedal
Burning smell
Swerving to the side when braking
Grinding, squeaking, or squealing noise when you press on the brake pedal
Slow or delayed response from the brake system

Regardless of whether you notice any of these signs or not, we recommend regular inspection of the brake pad to ensure they are in good working condition. Some brake pads have to wear indicators that can be seen through a visual inspection service. These indicators mark the minimum thickness of the brake pads before they should be replaced.
