How often do 2010 Mazda 3 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. 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 3. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers brake pad replacement for Mazda 3s that comes with a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are some of our most popular services. For your 3, we’ll use brake components that meet or exceed Mazda’s specs.

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Mazda  3. 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.
