Brakes
You stop when you need to.
Stopping a vehicle that weighs thousands of pounds puts a real load on your brake system. Whether you drive gently or haul heavy loads, your brakes have to work at 100% every single time.
Brake pads typically last 35,000–60,000 miles, but that varies with driving habits, towing, and the pad material itself. If you hear squealing, grinding, or feel the pedal go soft, don't wait on it.

Common questions
Why do my brakes squeak or grind?
Squeaking is often the built-in wear indicator telling you the pads are getting thin — it's doing its job. Grinding means the pads are gone and metal is meeting metal, which damages the rotors and turns a small job into a bigger one. Squeak is your early warning; don't wait for the grind.
How long do brakes last in Las Vegas traffic?
Stop-and-go driving on surface streets wears brakes faster than highway miles — 25,000 to 50,000 miles is a typical range here, depending on how and where you drive. Summer heat doesn't help either. If it's been a couple of years, a quick look is cheap peace of mind.
My steering wheel shakes when I brake — what is that?
Usually warped or unevenly worn rotors. Heat is the common culprit — hard braking on hot pavement, or riding the brakes down a long grade like the one coming back from Mount Charleston. It's very fixable, and we'll show you the rotors so you can see it yourself.
