How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

• Brake pad life depends on driving habits and environment; many drivers see pads last 30,000–60,000 miles while rotors often last longer when properly serviced.
• Hybrids with regenerative braking can extend pad life, but we recommend regular inspections to measure pad thickness and rotor condition.
• Routine inspections at scheduled maintenance visits prevent uneven wear and costly rotor replacement later—book inspections through our schedule service page.
