Brake pads, as you may already know, are the pieces of your braking system that make direct contact with brake rotors to cause friction and slow down your vehicle on the streets of Harrogate. This friction, and the heat caused by it, is exactly the reaction that causes brake pads to eventually wear down to the point of needing replacement.
There are a few factors that can increase or decrease the rate of use of brake pad components. Some of which, like how hard you regularly apply the brake pedal, are totally within your control! Other, less controllable factors such as outside temperatures and road conditions can also negatively impact the brake pads. Check out the list below for a breakdown of the factors that can impact how long brake pads last:
