What are brake discs?

Brake discs are an essential part of a disc braking system. They consist of metal rotors attached to your wheels that provide a surface for brake pads to squeeze onto. When this friction is applied, it helps to slow your car down quickly and safely.

How do I know if my brake discs need replacing?

Corrosion can affect the performance of brake discs, causing them to become dented and warped. If your car shudders or grinds when you apply the brakes, it’s often a sign that you need to get your brake discs replaced. 

What is the average life of a brake disc?

Brake discs typically last for about 50,000 miles before they need replacing. However, the frequency of braking, and how sharply you do so, can affect its lifespan.

Should you replace brake discs with pads?

It's recommended to replace your brake pads at the same time as the discs. This makes sure they wear down evenly, rather than risking increased damage from older pads.
