How Long Should Brake Pads Last?

So, let’s first answer the question, “How long should brake pads last?” How long your brake pads last depends on several things, such as the make and model of your car and the construction of the brake pads. Still, most brake pads last between20,000 and 75,000 miles on North Canton streets and beyond. 

What Causes Brake Pad to Wear Down? 

The brake pads and rotors in your car work together to create friction that slows down your Mazda on your Akron commute. The friction, and the heat caused by it, make your brake pads wear down and need replacing. Several things can impact the rate of deterioration of brake pads. Some things are within your control, like how much you tend to slam on the brakes while driving around Alliance. But you can’t control some things, like the weather and road conditions. Other factors that affect how long brake pads last include the following:

  • Condition of other brake components
  • Whether you have an automatic or manual transmission
  • Type and brand of brake pads
  • The weather and road conditions
  • Your usual driving habits (riding the brakes)
