You know your Lincoln MKS best. Turn to our technicians to help keep your brakes at peak performance! Vehicle manufacturers like Lincoln generally recommend that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles.

Our expert technicians are happy to examine your 2012 Lincoln MKS brakes, brake pads, and other braking components. Properly maintaining your brake system is so important.

How often do 2012 Lincoln MKS brake pads need to be replaced? It largely depends on where and how you drive. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your MKS. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Thankfully, when you get Lincoln MKS brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are pretty common for us, and we only use brake parts that meet or exceed Lincoln's standards.

Your Lincoln MKS engine may be strong and reliable. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be 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, ignoring your brake problems can result in more damage and higher brake repair bills. For example, rotors start to warp and become damaged when completely worn brake pads exceed their lifespan, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. We can help prevent that damage from happening. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair for your 2012 Lincoln MKS. Our brake repair services include brake pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum machining, brake fluid exchange, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder service.
