How often do car brake discs need replacing?
I have had my car for a few years now. It just occurred to me that I might be due for some maintenance. When do cars need new brakes?
Jessa Claeys · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“Although it very much depends on a person’s driving habits, brake discs should last between 80,000 and 120,000
miles
.Brake pads, on the other hand, will likely last anywhere between 25,000 and 60,000 miles.
With that being said, there are many easy ways to extend your brake discs’ and pads’ lifespan, such as practicing gentle braking and avoiding rush hour, since drivers tend to brake more during heavy traffic.
On the off chance something happens to your car unexpectedly, avoid an expensive tow by signing up for a roadside assistance membership with
Jerry
. Jerry’s roadside assistance is less than $5 a month and even pays for an Uber if you require a tow.”View full answer
