Are you looking for a quality auto service center to conduct front brake pad replacement services and more on your Volkswagen? Give Carolina Volkswagen a chance if you’re in the Charlotte, NC, area. With our certified technicians and the fact that we sell genuine OEM parts, you can’t go wrong.
You can replace your brake pads in pairs, either the front or rear. However, it is often a good idea to replace them all at once since they’re all wearing down, and you might not remember to have the other pair replaced until there’s a serious issue. A technician replaces the front brake pads when they notice excessive wear, which occurs faster with the front brake pads. They’ll perform a physical/visual examination to determine if the thickness of your brake pads is below the recommended level.
Why is it necessary to get brake pad replacement in Charlotte? Simply put, you can have serious driving issues or even get in an accident if you avoid brake pad replacement for long enough. If you notice audible squealing or grinding noises or there’s a screeching sound when you put on the brakes, it’s time to bring your vehicle for an inspection of your brake system. Also, if it takes longer to stop, your brake pedal sits closer to the floor, or you notice a pulsing through your brake pedal, this should be a concern.
Front brake pads tend to work the hardest and are the most powerful. Once you step on your brakes, your vehicle will lurch forward and land squarely on its front wheels. This makes it so that they wear out faster, and as a result, end up needing to be replaced more frequently.
Bring your Volkswagen in for an inspection of your brake pads (and the entire brake system) every six months. This way, you can have a professional make sure that the components are working properly and that the brake pads aren’t below a certain thickness. It varies how often you should have them replaced, with estimates between 25,000-70,000 miles, but you should definitely consult your owner’s manual to know when it’s ideal for getting brake pad replacement.
