Rear Brake Pad Replacement Service

Brake Pads Function

Brake pads are an essential component of the brake system. They function as a friction-providing surface to press on the brake rotors when the brakes are applied. They are mostly made from ceramic, metallic, or organic material. The brake pads go through wear and tear through braking, and over time they get worn out and require a replacement service. Compared to the front brake system components, the rear brake pads tend to wear faster and should be frequently inspected. In brake pads inspection service, our technicians will inspect the condition and thickness of the brake pads to determine if they require a replacement service.

Never Neglect Your Brake Pads

With worn out brake pads, the braking performance and safety of the vehicle can suffer significantly. As the brake pads are not able to provide the expected level of performance, there is excessive stress on other components of the braking system, causing severe damage to them. Some common signs of worn-out brake pads include a spongy brake pedal, a sluggish response from the brakes, an increase in stopping distance when braking, or vibrations in the brake pedal.

Rear Brake Pads Service Intervals

The service interval for brake pads can vary depending on several factors such as type of vehicle, type of brake pads, usage, and more. The stress on front and rear brake pads can be different, requiring different service intervals. However, there should be a balance between the braking power of the front and rear brakes. If you are uncertain about service intervals, our expert technicians can guide you on the ideal service interval for front and rear brake pads.
