How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

• Typical intervals: brake pad life depends on driving habits, environment, and vehicle use; many drivers see pad replacement between 30,000 and 70,000 miles, but EV regenerative braking can extend pad life in the 2026 Honda Prologue.
• Rotor wear: rotors usually last longer than pads, but if rotors are scored, warped, or below minimum thickness, they should be resurfaced or replaced during pad service.
• Regular inspections: we recommend having brakes inspected at every scheduled service or at least once a year to measure wear and identify issues early.
• Driving factors: frequent city stop-and-go driving, towing, steep terrain, and heavy loads accelerate wear and may require earlier replacement.
• Dealership maintenance: getting inspections and replacements at Courtesy Palm Harbor Honda ensures accurate assessment with OEM specifications and preserves any applicable warranty coverage.
