Brake Pad Replacement
Brake pads should be replaced every 25,000 to 50,000 miles, but only an inspection will tell you if it’s the right time. Muller’s Woodfield Acura routinely completes brake pad inspections. If you hear a squeal or a “metal on metal” sound when you brake, make sure to have your brake pads inspected. Brake pads are used constantly, so it’s crucial to replace them as needed to not cause damage to your brake rotors or other more expensive components. Well functioning brakes have pads that are between 8-12 mm in thickness. Have new pads installed when they are worn to between 3-5 mm.
Brake Rotors Replacement
It is best practice to replace your rotors or “discs” every 30,000 to 80,000 miles, depending on their condition. Timely brake pad replacement minimizes the chances of damaging your rotors.
Brake Repair & Brake Pad Replacement Cost
Brake pad replacement costs is low for most vehicles, but if your pads wear down you may need to also replace your rotors or other brake components, which is more expensive. We recommend getting your brake pads inspected during routine maintenance like oil changes to ensure they do not need to be replaced. Brake pad replacement costs are significantly less than a total brake system replacement. Prices will depend on the type of brakes and brake parts you need installed. For a complete set of brake components on all four axles, replacement cost can exceed $1,000 but in other cases, the cost can be much less. Muller’s Woodfield Acura installs Genuine OEM parts, which are made to complement your existing vehicle parts. We also regularly have auto repair specials and brake repair coupons to help keep your costs down.
Brake Caliper Replacement and Brake Master Cylinder Replacement
Brake calipers are mechanisms used to clasp the brake pads against the brake rotors in order to slow the vehicle. Every situation is different, but calipers often are replaced between 75,000 and 100,000 miles. If you hear a squeal or a “metal on metal” sound when you brake, make sure to have your brake calipers inspected. Experienced technicians with the service department at Muller’s Woodfield Acura will check your brake calipers and can assist you if it’s time to replace them. We can also help if you need a new master cylinder, which is the part that creates pressure for the brake to properly function. While some master cylinders can last the life of the car, others need to be replaced sometime after 70,000 miles.
