How Often Should Brakes be Serviced?

Additionally, most brake pads last between 25,000 to 65,000 miles. Depending on the way that you drive can shorten or prolong the normal lifespan of your brake pads as well. To be on the safe side, you should plan to get your brake pads changed around every 40,000 miles.
