What are the signs I need new brakes? Squealing or grinding sounds, vibration in the pedal, longer stopping distances, or a spongy pedal are the primary warning signs.
Squealing = wear indicators touching rotor (replace soon) Grinding = metal-on-metal (replace immediately) Pulsation or vibration often means warped rotors Soft/spongy pedal may indicate hydraulic issue, not just pads Dashboard brake warning light is always immediate action Per ASE brake inspection standards and NHTSA guidance.
How long do brake pads last? Brake pads typically last 30,000-70,000 miles — driving style and terrain are the biggest variables.
City stop-and-go driving wears pads 2-3x faster than highway Heavier vehicles put more load on brake components Quality of pad compound affects longevity significantly Front pads wear faster than rear on most vehicles California hills and canyon driving accelerate wear Per ASE technician guidelines and brake manufacturer data.
