Mechanic Inspecting Brake Pads and Rotors

Whenever you’re looking for Honda brake pads and rotors, the parts center here at Victory Honda of San Bruno will be happy to find the right ones to fit your exact make and model. Those parts should be checked as part of your manufacturer recommended service schedule, but there’s always a chance they’ll wear down sooner than expected. That’s why we think every driver should learn to identify the warning signs that any part of their braking system might require expert attention.

With that in mind, simply read on to explore:

Common Signs Your Brake Pads Need to be Replaced

Brake pads are put under plenty of strain whether you’re taking a quick trip into San Francisco or driving across the state, so they generally need to be replaced every 5,000 miles. Signs your brake pads may require attention include:

  • Shaking Brake Pedal During Braking
  • Harsh Metal-on-Metal Sound During Braking
  • Increasingly Long Stopping Distances
  • Screeching or Squealing During Braking
  • Brake Lights Active Without Braking

You can also perform a visual check by yourself. If any brake pad appears less than a quarter inch thick, it’s time to schedule servicing.

Common Signs Your Brake Rotors Need to be Replaced

Brake rotors generally go anywhere from 30,000 to 70,000 miles before needing to be replaced, so you shouldn’t have to worry about them as frequently as your brake pads. That said, the rotors too may sometimes wear down sooner than expected. Just a few common warning signs include:

  • Shaking Steering Wheel During Braking
  • Harsh Metal-on-Metal Sound During Braking
  • Increasingly Long Stopping Distances

To perform a visual inspection, simply check the rotors for any surface cracks. You’ll find them mounted to the wheel hub just behind the hubcap.
