Why Choose Saskatoon Auto Connection for Your Brake Repair:
When Do I Need Brake Repair Service in Saskatoon?
Saskatoon is a 4-season city and we experience extreme temperature and weather shifts all year-round. Here are some indicators that you need an immediate brake inspection and probable service:
- Squeaks, squealing, rubbing or grinding noises coming from the brakes
- Vehicle pulls more to one side or the other when brakes are applied
- Left-right tilt when stopping the vehicle
- Have to press brake pedal heavily to stop the vehicle
- Brake pedal shakes and vibrates when pressed
- Vehicle wobbles or shudders when applying the brakes
- Brake pedal feels very soft, squishy or lacks resistance when pressed
- Excessive brake pedal travel or pushes all the way to the floor
Regular Brake Inspection
Brakes use friction to bring a vehicle to a complete stop. This friction creates a substantial amount of heat. Heat can lead to "brake-fade", excessive wear, rotor warping. Regular inspections are crucial to monitoring brake wear. Regular lubrication and brake conditioning can also prolong brake life.
Average Life Expectancy & Mileage of Brake Pads
There are many factors that affect brake pad lifespan and mileage depending on driving habits and brake pad quality. City drivers use brakes more than highway or rural drivers. Heavy braking from high speed and congested traffic cause faster wear. Front brake pads typically last 32-55k km, while some drivers need replacement after only 40,000 km or as much as 112,600 km depending on driving habits and brake pad quality.

Brake Quality & Performance Factors
Higher quality brand-name brakes last longer than discount brands. Some brakes are manufactured with high-grade metallic or ceramic compounds that can be noisier but offer superior stopping power, extreme temperature tolerance, and resistance to brake-fade and glazing. Over time all brakes need repair services as brake pads, rotors, shoes and drums become worn.
Brake Rotor Replacement
Nowadays it is more cost effective to replace brake rotors rather than machining them. Installing new brake pads onto old rotors will cause issues such as premature brake pad wear, low contact friction, vibration, squealing and scraping noise when brakes are applied.
