❓ Brake Service FAQs
How often should I replace my brake pads?
Typically every 30,000–70,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and vehicle type.
What does brake service cost?
Basic pad replacement starts around $175–$250 per axle. Pricing depends on your vehicle and whether rotors or fluid service are needed.
Do I need a brake fluid flush too?
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time. We recommend a flush every 2–3 years to keep your system working at its best.
What happens if I wait too long?
Worn pads can damage your rotors and calipers — leading to more expensive repairs and reduced safety.
