Similar to various other parts in your vehicle, brake pads undergo wear and tear as you drive. As with oil changes and tire rotations, brake pads require periodic replacement. At Capitol Subaru, we specialize in replacing brake pads with genuine OEM replacements tailored to your specific Subaru model. These pads offer superior performance, durability, and smoother operation than inferior aftermarket alternatives. Learn more about maintaining your brake pads below, and trust Capitol to provide the assistance you need to ensure your vehicle runs optimally.
How Frequently Should I Replace My Brake Pads?
For precise and customized brake pad replacement intervals specific to your vehicle, it's best to refer to your owner's manual or contact our knowledgeable team. With access to your vehicle's VIN, we can provide accurate recommendations tailored to its specifications. Another option is incorporating regular brake pad measurements into your routine oil change appointments. Because driving habits and conditions vary widely among drivers, the rate at which brake pads wear down can differ significantly. By regularly measuring the remaining pad material during oil changes, we can assess their condition and advise on replacement when necessary, prioritizing your safety and peace of mind on the road.
Identifying Signs of Worn Brake Pads: What to Look For
A notable indicator of worn brake pads is a squeak or squeal when applying the brakes. This sound typically results from the metal backplate of deteriorated pads contacting the brake rotors, potentially leading to damage. Fortunately, many contemporary brake pads feature a metal tab that produces a squeak before the pad's friction material entirely wears out. Hearing such noises signals the need for a thorough inspection by a qualified technician to prevent further issues.
