How Often Do Your Mazda MX-5 Miata Brakes Need Service

Getting your 2020 MX-5 Miata’s brakes checked before trouble starts is a good idea. There's no need to wait for a problem. We make it easy by providing free brake checks to all of our customers so that we can help stop problems before they start. You can request a free brake inspection at any time or during another service, like a tire repair or an oil change. If you've been putting off regular car care, though, keep the following brake symptoms in mind.

Brake problems include unusual noises, a vibrating pedal or steering wheel, a burnt smell coming from the tires, a dashboard brake light that’s powered on, or the feeling that something is "off." You know your Mazda MX-5 Miata better than anyone else. A free brake check can help keep your system performing well. Generally speaking, automakers like Mazda suggest that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are disassembled and serviced at least once every 12,000 miles or 12 months.

Replacing Your Mazda MX-5 Miata’s Brake Pads

When should you change the brake pads on your 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata? It largely depends on where and how you drive. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking 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 MX-5 Miata. Some brake pad materials last longer than others. Thankfully, when you get Mazda MX-5 Miata brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty.

Get Your Mazda MX-5 Miata Brakes Fixed

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Mazda  MX-5 Miata. 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. Don't wait if you're experiencing brake squeaks or a loss of braking power. Safe driving is difficult when your brakes are anything but their best. Plus, waiting can lead to more expensive parts wearing out and requiring replacement. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. We can help you steer clear of further brake damage. Get your 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata brakes fixed at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We offer many affordable brake repairs like brake pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum refinishing, brake fluid exchange/bleeding, and wheel cylinder and brake caliper installation.

Mazda MX-5 Miata Brakes Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why does my MX-5 Miata shake when I brake? If your MX-5 Miata shakes when you brake, you could be dealing with warped rotors, faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, or loose or worn suspension parts. Schedule a free brake inspection at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help diagnosing your brake issue.
  • How many brake pads does my MX-5 Miata come with? The brake system on most vehicles consists of four brake pads per axle, with two brake pads installed on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front wheels of your MX-5 Miata put in more work when stopping your vehicle, so the front brake pads are likely to wear out quicker than the rear brake pads.
  • What is the average lifespan of MX-5 Miata brake pads? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your MX-5 Miata can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.
  • Should my MX-5 Miata be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your MX-5 Miata brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.
