Know How Guides:
The brake on your vehicle is designed to be changed around every 60,000km and are one of the most critical safety components on your vehicle. Your brake pads should be regularly inspected during planned or scheduled servicing and maintenance to ensure that the pad is replaced prior to causing further damage or wear on other braking components such as your brake rotor resulting in higher servicing and replacement part costs.
Brake rotors will eventually wear down from friction and corrosion. Replacing them is an important part of maintenance and can be done at home with the right tools.
