If life has gotten in the way of everyday car care, keep the following brake information in mind.

You know your Audi A4 Quattro like the back of your hand. Turn to our technicians to help keep your brakes at peak performance! Generally speaking, automakers like Audi suggest that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles.

Brake Pad Replacement for Your Audi A4 Quattro

How often do 1996 Audi A4 Quattro brake pads need to be replaced? It depends on you and your driving style. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your A4 Quattro. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers Audi A4 Quattro brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your A4 Quattro, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass Audi’s standards.

Get Your Audi A4 Quattro Brakes Fixed

Your Audi A4 Quattro engine may be strong and reliable. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal. Don't wait if you're experiencing brake squeaks or a loss of braking power. Safe driving and responsive brakes go hand in hand. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. Our technicians work to prevent more brake damage. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair for your 1996 Audi A4 Quattro. Our brake repair services include pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum refinishing, brake fluid exchange/bleeding, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder service.

Audi A4 Quattro Brakes Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is causing my A4 Quattro to shake when I brake? Faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, loose or worn suspension parts, and warped rotors can cause your A4 Quattro to shake during braking. If you’re experiencing odd brake behavior, schedule a free brake inspection at a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • How many brake pads does my A4 Quattro come with? On most cars, each axle is equipped with four brake pads — two per front wheel and two per back wheel. The front wheels usually work harder to help stop your A4 Quattro, so don’t be surprised if your front brake pads wear out faster than your rear brake pads.
  • How long should my A4 Quattro brake pads last? Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your A4 Quattro brake pads last, though. For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Is it bad if my A4 Quattro is leaking brake fluid when off? Your A4 Quattro has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.
