Driving on worn Honda brake pads and rotors in Hanover means putting the life of yourself, your passengers, and your fellow road users in jeopardy, not to mention risking serious damage to your vehicle. That’s why brake pads and rotors should be checked during every routine servicing appointment – you’ll also generally have the brake pads changed every 50,000 miles and the brake rotors changed every 30,000 to 70,000 miles.
That said, your brake pads and rotors may sometimes wear down sooner than expected, and you’ll need to get them replaced when that happens by scheduling servicing or speaking to our parts department. With that in mind, we’ve put together a quick look at:

If you’re worried one or more brake pads might need to be replaced, simply get down and take a look. When a brake pad is less than a quarter inch thick, it should be replaced.
Further warning signs include:
You can find your brake rotors simply by looking just behind the hubcaps – the rotors are the large pieces of metal attached directly to the wheel hub. If you see any surface cracks, they probably need to be replaced, but you may notice several other warning signs before damage is visible.
These include:
