Your Safety Depends on Your Brakes
Your brake system is one of the most critical parts of your vehicle — and your brake pads take the most wear. Whether you drive daily through Kelowna traffic or take frequent highway trips, knowing when to replace your brake pads keeps you safe and helps avoid costly repairs.
At Car Craft Automotive, we often see drivers come in with grinding, squealing, or delayed braking — all signs it’s time for a brake check.
When to Replace Brake Pads
On average, brake pads should be replaced every 40,000 to 80,000 km, but that number depends on your driving habits and environment.
- City driving with frequent stops causes faster wear
- Highway driving usually allows pads to last longer
- Heavy loads or towing (i.e.. boats, campers) can shorten the lifespan of your breaks
If you notice vibrations when braking, longer stopping distances, or hear a high-pitched squeal, it’s time to visit our Kelowna auto repair shop for a full inspection. Here’s more info about all our brake services …
Why Quality Brake Pads Matter
Choosing quality pads means better stopping power, reduced noise, and longer-lasting performance. At Car Craft Automotive, we use trusted brands and ensure your entire braking system — rotors, calipers, and fluids — works together seamlessly.
Replacing only worn-out parts can lead to uneven wear and reduced braking efficiency. Our certified technicians will evaluate every component to keep your vehicle safe and running smoothly.
