Depending on what kind of car you have, it may utilize between 4 - 8 brake pads. When you step on the brake pedal, your car's master cylinder sends fluid under pressure to the brake calipers (which hold the brake pads). The caliper presses the brake pad against the brake rotor, causing friction that slows down the car. During normal usage of the brakes, brake pads wear out and become thinner. If the thickness of brake pads is less than a quarter of an inch, it is time to change the pads. Depending on where you drive, brake pads usually last between 35,000 - 40,000 kilometers. Some vehicles (e.g. BMW’s, Mercedes', etc) are equipped with a low-pad-warning system to notify you when is the right time to have your brake pads replaced. In these situations, the brake sensors will also be replaced as part of the brake pad service.
A rotor is a part of a vehicle's braking system. It is roughly shaped like a flat-bottomed bowl with a wide lip at the top. The design of the rotor allows the heat produced by this process to be evenly dispersed throughout the braking system so it does not overheat.
Maintaining the brakes is one of the most important safety features for any vehicle owner and is key to a vehicles upkeep for long term ownership. Unfortunately, brake maintenance is often overlooked by drivers. Maintaining the cars brake system can help to prevent costly repairs in the long run, and can keep the car in the best form to avoid a collision. Furthermore, if this damage is not addressed, it can progress to the point that the brakes are ineffective and might totally fail, putting the vehicle and its occupants in danger.

Got to meet Mechanic Richard Tu. Very friendly and professional. My service request consisted of rear brake pads, rotor, calipers, and an oil change. At first, I was nervous they would be under equipped or under supplied. After I realized they knew what they were doing, I set off to work around the house a little bit. Could tell that I was going to get a job well done. I waited around for the oil change to make sure my driveway wouldn't have any messy spills. Overall, the mechanic got the job done in the time allotted, took the car out for a road test, and left my property the way it was before he came. I am very satisfied with the service as it was very convenient for me. He even took the old oil, which saves me a trip to the recycling centre. I rate the service 5 stars because there was nothing wrong with it and I saved roughly 180 dollars from the quote by my dealership. I drive a Nissan Altima '08 2.5L. The parts were good too as I was able to ask through Fiix's phoneline what quality I was getting. Denny
