VW Front Brake Pad Replacement Service

Why Front Brake Pad Replacement Service is Important

Your brake pads are going to wear out sooner or faster depending on how you drive and how often you brake. When you do break your brake pads are clamped down on and they do get contacted by the calipers and the rotors so they are going to wear out every time you put the brakes on. For the most part, if you have a front-wheel-drive car, for instance, it is going to be more important to change out the front brake pads but you should be changing out all your brake pads.

When You Should Replace Them

Brake pads are not something that needs to be changed out every single year. They will need to be changed out more often if you tend to brake more often or if you are harder on your brakes or drive more. For those that are wondering, you should be changing your brake pads out on an as-needed basis. You can ask your service center to take the time to check the thickness and the overall state of your brake pads to help you determine when the best time to change them out is.

You may be able to go a year, two years, or more without changing out all of your brake pads but it is always a great idea to talk to your service center to see how your brake pads look and to see if they need to be changed.
