Knowing how brake pads work is beneficial because they contribute to your overall safety on the road.
Braking System
Brake pads are a critical aspect of the braking system for all cars at White's Auto Mall Nissan because they dictate how a vehicle slows down and stops. Brake pads are steel and have a coating that provides the friction needed when you engage the brakes. They prevent the wheels from spinning when you want your vehicle to stop.
Driving Style
Some drivers who visit our dealership in Hopkinsville, KY for services need their brake pads replaced more often. How often you should replace yours will depend on your driving frequency and style. Drivers who commute daily will likely need the brake pads replaced sooner than other drivers. That is primarily because stop-and-go traffic requires you to engage the brakes more often, which wears down the brake pads.
