Proper brake maintenance is key to preventing problems in the first place.

How often do 2009 Volkswagen Touareg brake pads need to be replaced? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. Your brake pad replacement interval also depends on what kind of brake pads you have on your Touareg right now. Are you still driving with the same pads as when you bought the car? Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Thankfully, when you get Volkswagen Touareg brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are some of our most popular services. For your Touareg, we’ll use brake components that meet or exceed Volkswagen’s specs.

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Volkswagen  Touareg. One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal.
