How often do I need to replace my brake pads?

Your brakes pads do the hard work of safely stopping your car. Every time you push the brake pedal, they touch the brake discs. This friction causes them to wear out over time.

Worn out brake pads reduce the braking efficiency of your car, which can put you and your passengers at risk. The key is to replace the brake pads when they reach minimum wear levels – and the solution is Brakes4Life.

How can I tell if my brake pads need replacing?

You’ll be able to tell if your brake pads are wearing out as they’ll start to make a noise as you apply the brakes. Ignore this annoying noise and the pads can stick to the disc.

The condition of your brake pads, discs and fluid levels are all checked as part of your annual MOT. However, you shouldn’t leave it too long to get squeaky brakes checked.

If you’re not confident working on your car, book a Free Brake Check at Halfords and we’ll take a look for you.

What happens if I change my car?

Brakes4Life is transferable to all future cars you may own. If you change your car, just visit your local Halfords garage within 30 days for a Free Brake Check and we’ll transfer the lifetime replacement across.

If you sell your car to a new owner, you can also choose to transfer your Brakes4Life lifetime replacement guarantee along with the car.

There are some terms and conditions apply when transferring your Brakes4Life lifetime replacement to another car. For full details, see below.

Do you use high-quality replacement parts?

Yes. For added peace of mind, all the brake parts we use are equivalent to the original specification of the vehicle manufacturer and fitted by experienced technicians.
