How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

• Brake pads: depending on driving habits, pads typically last 30,000–70,000 miles. Our technicians inspect thickness during every service and recommend replacement when performance declines.
• Rotors: rotors can last longer but should be inspected at every pad change. Resurfacing or replacement depends on thickness, runout, and wear patterns specific to the 2020 Chevrolet Sonic.
• Balanced approach: we’ll inspect both pads and rotors together and explain whether pads alone are sufficient or simultaneous rotor service is the best value for longevity.
