To understand why routine, professional brake system maintenance is so crucial - and when your vehicle might need it - check out the following Frequently Asked Questions about Genuine Subaru brake Parts and Services.

  • Stepping on the brake pedal or normal driving causes a noise.

How long should your brakes last?

That depends on several factors that contribute to braking system wear and tear.

These include:

  • Driving habits and operating conditions

  • Type of vehicle and type of brake lining materials

  • Multiple system components - pads, rotors or drums - can wear at different rates.

What are the dangers of delaying brake service?

  • Severe brake wear will eventually result in metal-to-metal contact. Once this happens, rotor or drum replacement is usually unavoidable.

  • Brake failure can possibly cause loss of vehicle control.

  • Worn or ineffective brakes could cause you to fail your state's motor vehicle inspection.
