Rear Brake Pads Replacement

Rear pads last longer than fronts, but a handbrake needing more travel or a squeal from the back means they are due.

The Most Trusted Mobile Rear Brake Pads Replacement

Rear brake pads last longer than the fronts, but they still wear out, and on many modern cars the rears do more work than they used to because of electronic brake distribution. A squeal from the back of the car, a handbrake that needs more travel, or uneven braking are the usual signs.

Why Choose Our Mobile Rear Brake Pads Replacement Services?

Rear pads are often neglected because the fronts get replaced more often, and worn rears quietly increase stopping distances and put more load on the front brakes. Replacing them at your home or office means no workshop trip and no waiting.

Why We’re the Best Choice for Mobile Rear Brake Pads Replacement

Many modern vehicles have an electric parking brake built into the rear calipers, which has to be retracted electronically before the pads can be changed and reset afterwards. Our mechanics carry the equipment to do that properly rather than forcing the piston.

Worn rears quietly lengthen stopping distances and throw more load onto the front brakes. On most cars the parking brake works through the rear brakes too.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often do rear brake pads need replacing?
    Rear brake pads usually last around twice as long as front pads, often 60,000 to 100,000 kilometres. Vehicles with electronic brake force distribution work the rear brakes harder than older designs, so the gap is narrower than it used to be.
  • Why does my handbrake feel loose after the rear pads wore down?
    On most cars the parking brake acts through the rear brakes, so as the rear pads or shoes wear, the handbrake lever travels further before it holds. A handbrake that suddenly needs more travel is often the first sign that the rear brakes need attention.
  • Do cars with an electric parking brake need special equipment?
    Yes. On vehicles with an electric parking brake built into the rear calipers, the piston has to be retracted electronically with a diagnostic tool and reset afterwards. Forcing the piston back mechanically damages the parking brake motor.
  • Can rear pads wear out faster than front pads?
    It happens when a rear caliper seizes, a parking brake cable sticks, or the parking brake is left partly applied. Any of those drag the rear brakes constantly and can wear a set of rear pads out in a few thousand kilometres.
  • Should front and rear pads be replaced at the same time?
    Not necessarily. They wear at different rates, so they are replaced when each set reaches its limit. What does matter is replacing pads in axle pairs — both sides of the same axle together — so braking stays balanced.
