Front Brake Pad Replacement in Houston

Do your brakes grind or squeak while driving in the heavy stop-and-go traffic of Houston? If so, it sounds like you need front brake pad replacement. Brake pads function to absorb the constant motion of stopping and starting. When these begin to wear down, your brakes may get noisy, alerting you that your Volkswagen needs service. Otherwise, you risk damaging your rotors, which is another added expense that’s easily avoidable.

How Are Front and Rear Brake Pads Different?

Is there a difference between the front and rear brakes? Yes. The front brakes are designed to handle more heat/friction because they are more responsible for making your car stop. On the other hand, rear brakes provide for about 40 percent of the force used for stopping your Volkswagen. Overall, however, how your front and rear brake performance difference depends on your vehicle’s make and model. It’s also important to take note that you should have your front and rear brakes inspected every time you have an oil change or every two years. Depending on how often you use your vehicle, front brake pads should be replaced about every 50,000 miles.
