The brakes in your Volkswagen are arguably the most important safety feature, so you can’t neglect brake service. The best way to make sure your brakes are always working like they should is to get new OEM Volkswagen brake pads in St. Cloud from Eich Volkswagen.
When you think about it, it’s pretty impressive that your brakes can stop thousands of pounds in a matter of seconds. Your brakes can accomplish this amazing feat because of the friction the brake pads create with the rotors. Every time you push your brake pedal, the brake pads grip the rotors to create friction, which stops your vehicle. However, that friction also causes a lot of wear and tear on the brake pads, especially on the front brake pads where most of the weight is. Your brake pads should be replaced more than any other part of your brakes.
A lot of drivers go for quite a while without replacing their brake pads, so is Volkswagen brake pad replacement really that important? The truth of the matter is, you’re putting your life at risk if you aren’t replacing your brake pads occasionally. Brake pads are made from a rubber-like material that helps them grip the rotors and stop your vehicle. As this material wears off, the brake pad’s metal backing starts to show and will eventually scrape up against the rotor, causing a horrible grinding sound and a lack of braking power.
It’s not easy staying on top of auto maintenance, but keeping your brake pads fresh is pretty simple. While you need front brake pad replacement more than rear brake pad replacement, you don’t need to replace any of your brake pads too often. In general, we recommend that you replace your brake pads every 25,000 to 50,000 miles depending on several factors. However, you should have somebody inspect your brakes once or twice a year so you can be sure you’re replacing your brake pads on time.
