Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs

Q. How Long Should Brake Pads Last?

A.Brake pads are known to last between 25,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on how often the vehicle is used and the condition of the brake pads. This can also change depending on your driving habits so if you’re unsure, it’s best to get in touch with a professional. Considering that brake pads are a paramount feature of a vehicle, it’s important that you have your car serviced every year because this will usually include brake checks.

Q. Do Brake Pads Come in Pairs?

A. Yes, brake pads are sold in pairs because they ensure balanced braking. Your car has four wheels, and each pair of brake pads contributes to the vehicle’s overall stopping power. Selling them in pairs ensures consistent performance across both sides of an axle, maintaining stability and control when braking. Replacing both brake pads at the same time prevents uneven wear, which could otherwise lead to reduced braking efficiency and safety risks.

Q. How Many Brake Pads Does a Car Have?

A. Most cars have four brake pads for the front disc brakes—one inner and one outer pad per caliper. If your car has both front and rear disc brakes, that means it has eight pads in total. Some newer vehicles with electronic parking brakes may have separate rear calipers for the parking brake.
