Pad life depends on driving conditions and load: vans used for heavy hauling or city driving may need pads more frequently—commonly every 30,000–70,000 miles, but inspection is the key. Rotors last longer but should be evaluated at each pad service; replacing pads without checking or addressing rotor wear can reduce braking efficiency. We recommend routine inspections at every oil change or at least yearly; our inspections at Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet focus on safety, wear patterns, and alignment to extend component life. To maintain consistent performance, schedule service and take advantage of our rotating service specials.
