Is it OK to replace just brake pads and not rotors?

Yes. Generally, your brake pads will wear out around every 10,000 to 20,000 miles. Over time, your brake pads should wear down evenly and perform efficiently until they need replacing. Your brake rotors do not wear down as quickly as the pads. Typically, your brake rotors can last anywhere from 50,000 to 70,000 miles.

If your brake pads are in poor condition, but your brake rotors are still functional, you won’t have to replace them at the same time as your brake pads. However, when your brake rotors begin to wear down, they can cause significant damage to your brake pads. When you seek brake services, a good mechanic can inspect your brake pads and rotors to ensure optimal performance.

Why does my car shake when I brake?

As you drive, you put wear and tear on your brake rotors and pads. While the brake pads and rotors typically wear down evenly, slight variations or warping can cause irregular deterioration. If a brake rotor gets warped from a road hazard, it could cause your vehicle to shake while pressing down on the brake pedal. You might also notice the brake pedal vibrating or pulsating if you have a rotor issue.

When you experience braking issues, it's important to look for brake shops or brake services right away. Have a professional mechanic check out your brakes and perform a brake pad replacement or repair at the first sign of an issue.

Why do my brakes make a grinding noise?

The brakes on your vehicle are composed of a complex mechanical system. If something goes wrong, you may hear various sounds. Any of the following reasons could be the cause of a grinding noise:

For something as important as your brakes, having them checked as soon as possible when you notice an issue is vital. Having brake services done at the first sign of a problem is the best way to keep your vehicle safe and functional.
