Get Your Brakes Serviced

Frequently Asked Questions

How can you tell if your brake pads need replacing?

When your pads become worn out, you can occasionally be able to smell a burning scent that comes from the metal touching the surface. When brake pads need to be replaced, common problems include squealing, screeching, grinding, or squeaking when the brakes are engaged. The pedal or steering wheel may seem to pulse or vibrate. Take your Audi in for an immediate inspection if you notice any of these danger signals.

How much does it cost to get the brake pads on an Audi replaced on my Audi A4, A6 or other Audi in the Atlanta Area?

Do new brake pads work with worn rotors? Do I have to replace my brake pads and rotors at the same time?

Audi brake parts typically deteriorate at different rates, so your brake pads will need to be replaced before your rotors. It's vital to keep your brake pads healthy, both for safety reasons and to preserve the quality of the other brake components on your Audi while driving around the Newnan, Decatur, and beyond. Remember that your braking rotors will begin to wear out considerably more quickly if your brake pads are severely worn out and not replaced right away. To make sure your Audi is taken in for brake service on time, check your owner's manual for suggested maintenance intervals. Online brake pad service scheduling is available at Audi South Atlanta. Free multipoint examinations are available at our Audi Dealership in Atlanta's Union City.

Do I have to replace the front and back brake pads at the same time?

No, but since they are sold in pairs you need to replace the front OR the rear at the same time. Be aware that front and rear pads wear at different rates, with the front brakes wearing faster because they work harder,
