Replacing Your Brake Pads at Suntrup Nissan in St. Louis, MO

Brake pads are just one of those parts that you’ll go through a few sets of throughout your Nissan’s life. Brake pads are designed to protect your brake rotors from wear and tear and ensure that you’re able to safely bring your vehicle to a stop any time you need to. Over time, though, your brake pads will deteriorate – they will even give you obvious signs that they are doing so, and will require replacement soon. Replacing brake pads on your own can be a challenge without the right equipment. Working with a local, uncertified mechanic leaves you prone to subpar service that could void your warranty or do significant damage to your Nissan. Once you see (and hear) the signs of wearing-out brake pads, give us a call at Suntrup Nissan, where our certified technicians will fit your Nissan with the parts it needs and have you back out on St. Louis, MO roads before you know it.

Why Brake Pads Wear Out, and What The Signs Are

Brake pads are built to wear down over time gradually and become less effective the more that they are used. Some people may not need brake pad replacements as frequently as others, which is particularly the case with cautious, safe drivers who don’t brake hard frequently. Stop-start, aggressive drivers will often need brake pad replacements more frequently, as the additional workload they’re putting on their brakes causes the brake pads to wear down more quickly. Squealing, squeaking noises emanating from your brakes when stopping is the biggest sign of brake pads that need replacement soon. These noises are design features to alert drivers to the need for immediate replacement. Decreased braking power, in general, is usually another sign of deteriorating brake pads, and grinding or clunking sounds when braking is an indicator that your brake pads are destroyed and you’re doing damage to your brake rotors.

Protect Your Nissan From Substantial Damage With New Brake Pads

As your brake pads wear down, you reach a point where you begin to do damage to your brake rotors, which is not an inexpensive repair bill. Replacing your brake pads as soon as the signs emerge is the best way to save yourself money on more major repairs later, and to ensure that you’ll always have the braking power you’ll need in the event of a crisis braking situation.
