CHOOSE THE BEST BRAKE REPAIR OPTION FOR YOU
When it comes time to replace your brake pads, there are a few different installation routes you can go — traditional brick and mortar repair shops, dealerships and mobile mechanics. To pick your most suitable option it really comes down to your needs, schedule and budget.
By and large, dealerships will end up costing you nearly double that of traditional brake shops or mobile mechanics. On the other hand, traditional brake shops require you to sit around while you wait for your brake pads to be replaced (which can take hours at busy shops).
At MBR, we remove the unnecessary wait times and costly brick and mortar overhead, and pass those savings to you.
BRAKE PAD FAQS
Still have questions about brake pad replacements? We're here to help.
CAN I DRIVE MY CAR IF I NEED BRAKE PADS?
Your car's parts all work together as a system, and neglecting one part can lead to damage in other areas. For instance, if you drive with worn brake pads, it can cause damage to your tires and even to the entire braking system if your rotors are exposed.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU REPLACE YOUR BRAKE PADS?
Over time, you brake pads and rotors will naturally wear out from the constant friction created by stopping your vehicle. New brake pads will have an average of 8 to 12mm of thickness. Once your brake pads wear down to 3-4 mm of thickness, you’ll begin to hear squeaking. At that point, you should call NuBrakes Mobile Brake Repair to provide a free and instant consultation and brake repair quote for your vehicle. It’s advantageous to get your brake pads replaced as quickly as possible to avoid and potential damage to your rotors — you’ll wind up saving money on your brake repair.
Your brake rotors will also naturally wear down over time, however, not as frequently as your brake pads so long as you replace your brake pads before they starting grinding on the rotors. A NuBrakes brake repair specialist can tell you how thick your brake rotors need to be. In addition, you consider a brake bleed and brake fluid change as part of your routine maintenance service for brakes.
HOW LONG CAN YOU DRIVE WITHOUT REPLACING BRAKE PADS?
MBR MOBILE BRAKE REPAIR LLC. recommends you replace brake pads or shoes every 10,000 to 35,000 miles in urban use. With mostly highway driving, every 30,000 miles or more. Your ideal maintenance plan with brakes is to replace the pads before they wear down too much and cause metal-on-metal friction in your brake rotor.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T REPLACE WORN BRAKE PADS?
If allowed to wear out before being replaced, other components of the brake system may be damaged – especially the brake discs or drums. In addition to often costly repairs, driving with worn brake pads or shoes can result in unsafe driving conditions.
WHY IS MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKING?
A shaking steering wheel is a strong indicator that your brake rotors have been significantly worn down and/or warped. Often times, your brake rotors will wear down or warp due to a high exposure to heat. Sometimes, your rotors can warp if they’re particularly hot and then you drive through a puddle of water. If you’re experiencing shaking in your steering wheel, we suggest calling a MBR brake repair specialist to help assess your situation and provide you with a free brake repair estimate.
