How often do 1983 Volvo 244 brake pads need to be replaced? It largely depends on where and how you drive. 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. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your 244. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers Volvo 244 brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads. We do brake checks and brake pad replacements every day, and for your 244, we’ll only use parts that meet or surpass Volvo’s standards.

Your Volvo 244 may be powered by a strong engine. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal.

What's more, waiting for things to figure themselves out can result in more damage to your brakes and your wallet.
