Brake pads can last 50,000 miles on some Volvos and far less on others, depending on the car and how it's driven. Replacing pads before they wear through is what keeps the rest of the system from needing expensive work.

Over time other parts wear too. Whatever your brakes need, we handle it here, along with everything else on the car, so you're not splitting your Volvo between two shops.

Good questions

Brake Repair: what people ask us.

How often should my brakes be checked?

About once a year or every 20,000 miles, and any time you hear or feel something new. We also look at them whenever the car is in for service.

How long do Volvo brake pads last?

Anywhere from about 10,000 miles in hard use to 50,000 or more. The only way to know is to look, which is why we check them at every service.

My brakes just started squealing. Can it wait?

Don't wait. Noise is the early warning. Catching it now usually means pads only.
