FAQ

  • Q I want a pad that will last more miles. Can I get a set put on my car?

    A
    Brake pads are designed to wear out. How fast they wear is dependent on the driver and the vehicle more than the pad’s friction material formulation. While there are pads on the market that promise more miles, it is difficult to say if it will last longer than another pad.
    What can make a brake pad last longer is replacing the hardware and resurfacing the rotor with the correct finish. These two items can increase the life of the brake pad more than any other factor.
  • Q It is an older car, I don’t need to spend a lot of money on brake pads.

    A Older cars still have to stop the same way a new car does under certain conditions. Accidents do not discriminate between how much a car is worth and neither do lawyers.
  • Q What is in a box of brake pads?

    A
    The typical box of disc brake pads has four pads (two pads for each side of the car). Some manufacturers will included other pieces of hardware to make sure the pad performs to its full potential. The items include anti-rattle clips, shims to reduce noise and wear sensors. Also, some brake pad manufacturers include special lubricants to reduce the chance of the customer returning with a noise compliant.
    Some low-quality brake pad manufacturers do not include these items in the box so they can maximize their profit and be the lowest-priced product on the store shelves.
  • Q Wouldn’t a company avoid selling an unsafe brake pad?

    A Not true, some inexpensive brake pad manufacturers are constantly playing the odds game by weighing profit against braking performance. Their pads may perform well during normal operating conditions like city and highway driving, but if the pads encounter a situation like a panic stop or steep hill decent, they could fail or have longer than normal stopping distances. This is because they might not have spent the money for testing or on quality raw materials. They are betting that you might not encounter extreme conditions. Would you really want to “call their bluff” when you have to go “all in” during a panic stop?In the United States, there are no federally mandated laws that regulate the performance of replacement brake pads. The burden of selecting a safe replacement brake pad is up to the shop and driver.
