Q: What is a brake rotor?


A: Brake rotors/Brake discs are often a circular metal parts that work in conjunction with your pads and caliper to stop your wheels from spinning. Your car will always come with 4 of these. Two in the front and two in the rear.

Q: How long do brake pads and rotors last in my car?


A: The lifespan of your pads and rotors will often vary depending on your own driving habits. Typically, your pads will last you from 30,000-70,000 miles while your rotors can last anywhere from 90,000-210,000. However, these are not guaranteed as the weather, your driving, and the car’s service schedule can affect these.

Q: I hear a grinding noise. What is wrong with my brakes?


A: When you step on the brakes and hear a grinding noise, this means that your brake pads are overdue for a change. Your brake pads or lack thereof, have disintegrated to the point the friction used to stop your car is being caused by metal on metal contact. This is not a good sign and could potentially damage your rotors and more. We suggest you immediately stop driving your vehicle and get your brakes serviced as soon as possible.
