What our expert says
Lead RAC Mobile Mechanic
Your brakes are probably the most important part of your car. Worn brakes can cause longer stopping distances, brake judder, and a spongy feeling in the brake pedal.

Frequently asked questions about brake pads
Brake pads typically need replacing every 20,000 to 70,000 miles, but this depends on your driving habits and the type of brake pads you use. Regular inspections can help determine the right time for replacement.
Yes, if you have the necessary tools and mechanical knowledge, you can replace brake pads yourself. However, unless you’re a trained mechanic, it’s safer and more efficient to entrust the work to a trained professional.
Worn brake pads often cause squealing or grinding noises, reduced braking performance, and vibrations when braking. Visual inspections can also reveal thin brake pads that need replacing.
You may need new brake discs if you experience vibrations when braking, see grooves or score marks on the disc, or notice a longer stopping distance. A professional inspection can confirm if the brake discs need replacing.
Brake discs last longer than brake pads and typically need replacing every 50,000 to 70,000 miles. The exact lifespan depends on driving conditions and habits.
To check your brake pads yourself:
- Look through the wheel spokes: You should see the brake pad pressed against the brake disc.
- Measure the thickness: If the pad is less than 3mm (about 0.12 in) thick, it needs replacing.
- Listen for noises: Squealing or grinding noises indicate worn pads.
If you spot anything unusual or out of the ordinary, make sure you speak to a mechanic as soon as possible.
Brake fade occurs when the braking system overheats and loses its ability to generate friction. This can happen after continuous hard braking, such as driving down a steep hill. A brake fade reduces braking performance and can be dangerous.
Replacing both brake pads and discs can cost between £200 and £500 per axle, depending on the vehicle and type of parts used. Get multiple quotes to make sure you’re getting the best deal.
Driving with worn brake pads can compromise your safety and damage other braking components in your vehicle. It is best to replace them as soon as you notice they are worn.
Yes, there are several types of brake pads:
- Ceramic brake pads: Known for being quiet and producing less dust.
- Semi-metallic brake pads: Durable and effective but can be noisy.
- Organic brake pads: Made from non-metallic materials, they are quieter but wear out faster.
Each type has its pros and cons, so choose based on your driving needs.
Brake pads are components that press against the brake discs (rotors) to create friction and slow the car. Brake discs are the rotors attached to the wheels that the brake pads clamp onto. Both are essential for effective braking.
To extend the life of your brake pads:
- Drive smoothly: Avoid hard braking whenever possible.
- Maintain a safe distance: This reduces the need for sudden stops.
- Regular inspections: Check your brake pads regularly to catch wear early. Inspection should form part of your yearly service.
A brake pad replacement typically takes about 1 to 2 hours per axle, depending on the vehicle and the mechanic's experience. If additional repairs are needed, it might take longer.
Yes, you can upgrade to high-performance brake pads for better braking performance. Consider options like ceramic or semi-metallic pads if you need improved durability and stopping power.
If the brake warning light comes on, it usually indicates that your brake pads are worn or there is another issue with the braking system. To avoid progressive damage to your vehicle, get your brakes checked out by a professional as soon as you can.
Brakes can squeal for several reasons:
- Worn brake pads: Low pads can cause squealing.
- Glazed pads: Overheating can glaze the pads and cause noise.
- Dust and debris: Accumulation can cause squealing.
Regular maintenance and timely replacements can prevent squealing.
A brake pad sensor is a small device that alerts you when your brake pads are worn and need replacing. It activates the brake warning light on the dashboard when the pads reach a certain wear level.
Yes, a mobile mechanic can replace your brake pads at your home or workplace. This service offers convenience and ensures your brakes are in good condition without needing to visit a garage.
Yes, driving with worn brake pads can damage other parts of your vehicle, such as the brake discs and calipers. This can lead to more expensive repairs, so it’s best to have any issues seen to as soon as you notice them.
If your car judders when braking, it could indicate warped brake discs or unevenly worn brake pads. Have your braking system inspected and repaired by a professional.
Brake pads are usually considered a wear-and-tear item and probably won’t be covered under standard warranties. However, some premium brake pads come with a limited warranty, so it’s worth checking the details when you buy.
- OEM brake pads: Made by the vehicle manufacturer or an approved supplier. They match the original specifications.
- Aftermarket brake pads: Made by third-party manufacturers. They can offer a wider range of options but vary in quality.
Both options have their pros and cons. Talk to a mechanic to choose the best for your needs.
