What Causes Brake Pad Wear?

Your brake pads make direct contact with your brake rotors, causing friction that slows down your vehicle. The friction and heat created between your brake pads and rotors cause your brake pads to wear down over time. Eventually, your brake pads will need to be replaced.

Factors like how often you brake or the outside temperatures your car experiences every day are factors that influence the wear and tear on your brakes. Here are the most common factors that affect brake wear:

  • Local driving environment
  • Driving/braking habits
  • Type of brake pad
  • Manual vs. automatic transmission
  • Condition of other brake components

How Long Should Brake Pads Last?

How long brake pads last depends on the make and model of your vehicle and the quality of your brake pads. Dolan Springs and Hackberry drivers can generally expect brake pads to last from 20,000 on the lower end and 75,000 miles on the higher end.

How Long Do Ceramic Brake Pads Last?

Ceramic brakes are highly resilient, and they’re often found in high-performance and luxury vehicles. How long do ceramic brake pads actually last though?
