How Much Does It Cost to Replace Brake Pads?

The cost of a brake pad replacement will depend on the type of vehicle you drive and the type of brake pads you use. That being said, the average brake pad replacement cost is $150 per axle, but the overall price range is about $100 to $300 per axle. You should also note that brake pads made from organic materials tend to be less expensive than composite brake pads. Although they may cost more, composite brake pads offer greater heat resistance and less brake fade with routine use. Your owner’s manual will specify the recommended type of brake pads for your vehicle.

Brakes vs. Brake Pads: What’s the Difference? 

You may hear the terms “brakes” and “brake pads” used interchangeably, however there is a clear difference between the two:

• Brakes: Commonly refers to the brake system as a whole, including the brake pads, rotors, discs, calipers, master cylinder, lines, and, if you drive an older vehicle, brake drums. 
• Brake pads: As an important part of the brake system, brake pads apply pressure directly to the brake rotors or discs to bring the vehicle to a stop. 

How Long Do Brake Pads Last?

The average lifespan for brake pads is about 40,000 to 50,000 miles, but your driving habits can lengthen or shorten that lifespan. For example, if you ride the brakes or frequently slam on the brakes, the added strain on the brake pads will cause them to wear down faster. If you coast to a stop as often as you can and gently apply the brakes as needed, your INFINITI brake pads will last much longer.
