How often do 1999 GMC Yukon brake pads need to be replaced? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. If you drive mostly on the highway and tend to brake smoothly (as opposed to slamming on the brakes), your brake pads may 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 Yukon. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Thankfully, when you get GMC Yukon brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty.
