When changing your brake pads, you do not need to replace your rotors every time. If your rotors are in good condition and do not cause an issue when driving, you’re welcome to forgo the change for the time being. However, be on the lookout for symptoms like pulsating, grinding, or vibrating. When in doubt, ask our specialists about replacement brakes and rotor costs, labor, and more.
Brake rotors tend to manifest different symptoms and issues as they come closer to the end of their life. Make note of any grinding, pulsating, or vibrating you experience while braking. Additionally, strange noises, which are typically loud and noticeable, may also indicate an issue with the brake rotors. Difficulty slowing down or coming to a stop are also signs that your brake rotors may need replacement.
A pulsating brake pedal typically means you need either brake rotor replacement or brake pad replacement. Other symptoms that accompany a pulsating brake pedal often include vibrating or grinding when coming to a halt, strange noises when engaging the braking system, or odd odors from the engine bay or under the vehicle. Have these sensations investigated before bad brakes can cause troubles on the road.
Brake pads can usually last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. However, this number can vary depending on various factors. Climate can impact the length of time your brake pads last, as can your driving habits. Sporty drivers may find themselves replacing their brake pads closer to the 30,000-mile mark than those with more conservative driving habits.
