If you’re a Neptune Beach driver with a new or used Honda and rely on your vehicle for daily commuting, it’s important to stay mindful regarding the shape of your brakes. This requires some vigilance, especially if you don’t want to wait for a warning light to turn on, or the brakes are metal to metal. It’s not uncommon for Orange Park drivers to ask, “how long do brake pads last?” This is an extremely important question and one we’ll answer, along with “how much is brake service at Honda of the Avenues?” and brake pads and rotors price if you’re a do-it-yourself driver.
Regardless of how carefully you drive, wear and tear eventually catches up to your vehicle and the only solution is routine maintenance. How long do brake pads last? A specific answer depends on your driving habits and the conditions of your commute. However, on average, front brake pads last between 30,000 and 60,000 miles.
When you have brake pads installed you don’t always need new rotors. You can also have rotors resurfaced and not necessarily have them replaced.
That said, for brake pads you can expect to spend somewhere between $30 and $70 through our parts department, depending on the model and year Honda you drive. This doesn’t include labor through our service department. In some cases, letting brake pads wear down for too long damages the rotors. Metal from the pads cuts a groove into the surface of the rotors and makes them unsafe for driving. The cost of one rotor (parts only) normally falls between $40 and $80.
