Toyota Brake Replacement FAQs

How do I know when it is time to replace my brakes?

If any of the following are happening, it’s likely time to replace your brakes: 

• Squeaking or Squealing Coming From Brakes
• Grinding Sound When Braking
• Vibration When Braking
• Taking Longer To Stop
• Brake Pad Indicator Light Comes On
• Your Brake Pads Appear To Be Thin

How long do brake pads last?

Brake pads can last anywhere between 20,000 and 65,000 miles, depending on a range of factors, from your driving habits to the type of brake pads you use. Brake rotors can last between 30,000–70,000 miles. It is important to get regular, professional maintenance to protect yourself and your brakes.

Do You Have to Replace Rotors When Replacing Brake Pads?

The most complete brake service includes fully replacing brake pads and rotors, which gives you better stopping power and more fade resistance. Brake rotors, like brake pads, wear out over time. Rotors need to be a certain thickness in order to be considered safe. If your brake rotors are thinner than Toyota’s recommended thickness, you need to replace them immediately.

If your rotors are not too thin, there are other, less long term options available. Contact us to learn more.
