It's a good idea to have your 2009 Audi  A8 Quattro brakes serviced before a problem arises. You don't have to wait for something to go wrong.

Symptoms of bad brakes include unusual sounds, pulsation or vibration in the steering wheel or pedal, a burnt smell coming from the tires, a “lit” dashboard brake signal, or a gut feeling that something’s not right. You know your Audi A8 Quattro like the back of your hand. A free brake check can help keep your system performing well. Vehicle manufacturers like Audi generally recommend that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are disassembled and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That includes checking the parking brake, too. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. Want to keep your brakes ready for anything? Stop at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick inspection. Most of our locations are open seven days a week and in the evening for free brake checks. Our expert technicians are happy to examine your 2009 Audi A8 Quattro brakes, brake pads, and other braking components. Proper brake maintenance is key to preventing problems in the first place.

How often should you change your 2009 Audi A8 Quattro’s brake pads? It largely depends on where and how you drive. 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. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your A8 Quattro. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Thankfully, when you get Audi A8 Quattro brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your A8 Quattro, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass Audi’s standards.
