How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your Savana 3500. Some brake pad materials last longer than others.

Your GMC Savana 3500 engine may be strong and reliable. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. 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.
