Brake Pad Replacement near Pawtucket, RI
Once your brake pads begin to wear out, don’t hesitate to stop by our Service Department at Courtesy Mitsubishi! In the interim, we would like to invite you to partake in this brief synopsis of what goes into this process.
Brake Pad Purpose
During your trips around Pawtucket, you will eventually come across a red light, stop sign, or slowing vehicle. Each of these will require that you respond in the same way, that being to slow down or bring your vehicle to a stop. This is done by pressing your foot on the brake pedal, which transfers the applied force to the brake pads. They then grind against the rotors to reduce the wheels’ movement based on your input. Due to the physical intensity of this process, your brake pads will eventually become worn out and will need to be replaced with a fresh batch.
Replacement Process
The lifespan of your brake pads can largely vary, as it is based on your driving habits and the type of vehicle at your disposal. For a general time frame, our Service Department recommends that you have your brake pads replaced every 30,000 to 70,000 miles. Our team of certified technicians will begin this process by checking on your entire brake system to make sure the brake pads are the problem. If this is confirmed, we will remove your previous set and replace it with a new set straight from our Parts Department. We should also mention that there are different types, such as organic, metallic, ceramic, and more. Give us a call to learn what may best suit your needs for travels across Route 1.
Red Flags
Before your next visit to Valley Falls Heritage Park, make sure you keep an eye out for the following warning signs. This can include a burning odor as you bring your vehicle to a halt, as the metal may have become exposed over time. The odor will often be accompanied by a screeching sound for similar reasons. You may also find that it takes longer to bring your vehicle to a complete stop due to the brake pads being worn out. If you need a brake pad replacement, visit us during our business hours!
