Brakes are crucial for your vehicle's handling and safety. By checking your brakes often and scheduling necessary replacements and repairs, you can ensure your vehicle offers enough stopping power to drive safely. Our Oxnard Honda service center is here to help you keep your brakes working at their best and provide you with the peace of mind you need.
You can find out if your car needs brake repairs by paying attention to how your brakes feel, sound, and look as you drive around Ventura County. Some of the red flags that indicate brake repairs are needed include:
The price of brake repairs can vary depending on the repairs and replacements required, but new brake pads often cost between $150 and $550, including labor, depending on the type and size of your vehicle. Front brake pads can cost around $80 to $100 each, while rear brake pads can cost a little less, with them running between $50 to $100.
We offer competitive pricing for parts and labor so that you can feel confident when bringing your car to us. We often provide brake service coupons that can help you keep your service costs to a minimum.
Your driving habits and conditions can affect when you need to replace your brake pads, but most brake pads last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. Hard braking and stop-and-go traffic can wear out your brake pads quicker.
To tell if your rotor has gone bad, check for various signs, like a vibration or pulsing sensation, which can indicate something is wrong with the rotor. Visible grooves or score marks, excessive rust, blue coloring, brake pad wear, and reduced rotor thickness are other signs that your rotor needs fixing or replacement. If you're experiencing poor brake performance on drives around Santa Barbara or Santa Clarita, that is another sign of a bad rotor.
No, you do not always need new rotors when you get new brakes. However, we still recommend doing so. Generally, most vehicles need new brake pads every 30,000 to 70,000 miles. The same goes for your rotors. Replacing them simultaneously ensures you do not have to keep track of replacing two components.
To make your brakes last longer, slow down gradually when coming to a stop. Smooth, gentle braking can go a long way to preserving the quality of your brakes. Keeping up with general maintenance for your wheels, tires, and other components directly interacting with your brakes is a must. The healthier the rest of your components are, the longer your brakes will function properly on Camarillo and Simi Valley drives.
To complete a full brake replacement and/or repair, it takes an average of two or two and a half hours. This is the time it takes for a professional to properly inspect, disassemble, fix your brakes, and reassemble them, or replace them. However, the process can be shorter or longer, depending on various in-the-moment factors.
