Brakes are very important. While a broken timing belt<\/a> may stop you dead on the highway, brakes that can\u2019t do the job put you in danger every day. But how often should you replace your brakes? While your vehicle\u2019s owner\u2019s manual will give you a more customized idea of how often you should get your brake pads replaced (with the rotors needing to be replaced less often) usually you will need a pad replacement every 50,000 miles. That timing can be larger or smaller depending on what kind of brakes you have and how much you use them.<\/p>\n

Depending on your relationship with your mechanic, having him do a visual inspection every time you get your oil changed can give you a basic idea of where your brakes are in their life cycle.
