How Much to Replace Brake Pads: Average Cost
How much to replace brake pads depends on the type of car you drive, as well as the brake pad material. On average, you can expect to pay around $150 per axle, but the price can range from $100 to $300. Less expensive brake pads are made of organic materials, whereas more expensive brake pads are composed of more rugged materials, like metal. Though they’re more expensive, the latter promises better heat resistance and less brake fade with routine use. Get in touch with Mercedes-Benz of North Olmsted for a brake pad estimate for your vehicle.
Difference Between Brakes and Brake Pads
Although many Westlake-area drivers use brakes and brake pads interchangeably, there is a difference between the two. Brakes refer to the brake system as a whole, while brake pads are a component of the brake system, along with
- Rotors
- Disks
- Calipers
- Master cylinder
- Lines
- Brake drums (on older vehicles)
What do brake pads do, then? They apply pressure to the brake rotors or discs to help the vehicle come to a stop.
How Long Do Brake Pads Last?
Brake pads generally last for 40,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on your driving habits. For instance, city driving tends to wear brake pads down faster, because stop-and-go traffic causes you to hit the brakes much more frequently. Meanwhile, highway driving requires less hard stops, so your brake pads will therefore last longer. Generally speaking, do your best to coast to a stop instead of slamming your brakes to take care of the brake pads and brake system overall.
