A brake pad replacement service addresses one specific part of a vehicle’s complete brake system. Our technicians inspect your brake pads’ condition during the service and check for damage on the brake calipers and rotors. If the brake pads on your vehicle are worn thin, we will recommend a brake pad replacement that we can provide you with. In our brake pad replacement service, our technicians will remove the brake pads that rub against your vehicle’s brake rotors and replace them with new OEM Volkswagen brake pads. Vehicles that have drum brakes will require a different type of brake service.
Driving a vehicle that has excessively worn brake pads can be very dangerous. Brake pads use friction to stop the motion of a vehicle. The frictional force is provided by the material on the brake pads and the surface of your vehicle’s brake rotors. When your brake pads are wearing out, you will begin to hear them squeal or grind against the brake rotors. If the brake pads or brake rotors have worn out unevenly, then you may feel vibrations in the brake pedal of your vehicle as you slow down.
Drivers should have the brake pads on their vehicles replaced at least once every 25,000 – 50,000 miles. This range is the average lifespan of a set of brake pads, but this time frame can vary due to several different factors. Among a few factors are a driver’s specific driving habits or the materials that a brake manufacturer used to make the brake pads. Additionally, if the brake rotors on a vehicle are worn unevenly, then a set of brake pads on that vehicle may not last as long. We recommend referring to your owner’s manual to find out what guidelines your vehicle’s manufacturer has set.
We offer both a front brake pad replacement service and a rear brake pad replacement service at our dealership. If you are interested in learning more about our services and how they can help you with your Volkswagen model, feel free to contact us. We will be more than glad to provide more information to you and help you choose the products and services that will keep your vehicle running smoothly. We hope to see you soon.
