When should you change the brake pads on your 2017 Dodge Challenger? It depends on you and your driving style. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your Challenger. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Thankfully, when you get Dodge Challenger brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty.
