How often do 2017 Honda Ridgeline 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. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your Ridgeline. Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Thankfully, when you get Honda Ridgeline brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty.

Your Honda Ridgeline engine may be strong and reliable. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best.
