Brake Pad Replacement Service

Brake Pads & Replacement Maintenance

Brake pads are vital for creating the friction necessary to resist forward momentum; however, they are a high-friction material that wears with use and requires replacement at 3-4mm remaining on the support plate. The brake pedal signals the master cylinder to transfer energy through hydraulic brake fluid into the calipers that force the brake pads against the rotors bolted to the wheels. The extreme friction that defines automotive braking causes brake pads to wear away as brake dust that you might have noticed accumulating on wheel rims. Front and rear brake pads might wear at different rates due to variable load-bearing between the front and rear axles. Knowing when to replace brake pads requires an inspection/measurement.

Toyota-Certified Brake Pad Replacement Services

We perform brake pad replacement services contingent on wear, measurement results, and need. Front brake pads often wear faster than the rear pads because they handle more friction with more of the engine’s weight held by the front axle, leading some Toyota drivers to get front brake pad replacement while getting the most out of the rear brake pads. Toyota owners with evenly worn front and rear brake pads get a total replacement. Brake system inspections with pad measurements determine when brake pads need replacement to support reliable performance and safety. Brake pad replacement services involve a certified technician removing the old pads, inspecting the brake system, and installing new genuine OEM pads to factory specifications.
