Frequently asked questions
How do I know my brakes need replacing?
Squealing, grinding, a soft or pulsing pedal, or longer stopping distances all warrant an inspection. Wear indicators squeal by design once pads run low.
How long do brake pads last?
Typically 40,000 to 70,000 km. Stop-and-go driving in Alberta wears them faster than steady highway use.
Do rotors need replacing with the pads?
Not always. Rotors still above the manufacturer's minimum thickness and free of deep scoring can often be resurfaced or reused.
How long does a brake job take?
Pads and rotors on one axle usually take one to two hours. Caliper, hose or brake line work takes longer.
