When to Replace Your Brakes

Outside of experiencing brake problems or issues found during servicing, your brakes components should be replaced based on your specific vehicle maintenance schedule. You can expect your brake pads to last about 25,000 miles. This will vary based on your driving style, quality of the brake components, and whether you primarily drive in the city or on the highway. Your pads will last longer on the highway due to less stop and go driving. Brake rotors and drums that are properly maintained can last 60,000 miles or more.

How to Extend the Life of Your Brakes

The best way to extend the life of your brakes is to keep them maintained regularly, which you can do at our Hyundai service center. The following items will also help your brakes last longer:

  • Avoid braking at high speeds
  • Avoid sudden stops
  • Drive with only one foot
  • Travel with lighter loads
  • Practice coasting
  • Try engine braking

Why Preventative Brake Maintenance is Essential

  • Cost savings
