Service & Parts SpecialsSchedule ServiceWhat Is Rear Brake Pad Replacement?
Our rear brake pad replacement expert will remove your current drum brake assembly and put on a brand new one. The problem with drum brakes is that they’re very complicated assemblies. They have to be assembled perfectly and there are a lot of small parts. When people try to replace these brakes on their own, they run into a lot of problems. At the end of the day, this is an area that we always recommend using an expert.
Why Do I Need to Replace My Rear Brake Pads?
Like everything else in your car, your rear brake pads wear down over time and eventually need to be replaced. Each brake pad has a suggested replacement period. After a certain amount of miles, you’ll want to check your pads and replace them if necessary. With faulty rear brake pads, you won’t be able to stop as well and you can get into an accident. Driving with no brakes is a very dangerous thing to do.
Are Front Brake Pads Different from Rear Brake Pads?
Yes, front and rear brake pads are different. The front brakes are disc brakes which simply push against the brake rotor. Rear brake pads are drum brakes that use a full assembly to slow down the car. This makes changing rear brakes a lot harder than front brakes. If you forget a part or you put a part in the wrong place, your rear brakes will fail and you won’t be able to stop your car.
How Often Do I Need to Get My Brake Pads Inspected and/or Replaced?
Every year, make, and model car has a different suggested period to change your rear brake pads. If you feel like your braking power has changed recently or you don’t like how weak the brakes feel, stop by and let us inspect the pads. We’ll be able to tell what’s going on. When we replace your rear brake pads we will tell you exactly how many miles you can expect to use them before you have to stop by for another inspection or replacement.
