How often do 1998 Chevrolet K3500 brake pads need to be replaced? It depends on you and your driving style. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 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. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your K3500. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers Chevrolet K3500 brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads.
