Brakes vs. Brake Pads: What’s the Difference?

While “brakes” and “brake pads” are often used interchangeably, there’s a distinct difference between the two:

  • Brakes refer to the entire brake system, which includes brake pads and calipers, rotors/discs, lines, and the master cylinder. If you drive an older vehicle it includes brake drums.
  • Brake pads are one of the friction contact points of the brake system and apply pressure to the brake rotors or discs to bring the vehicle to a stop.

How Long Do Brake Pads Last?

On average, the lifespan for brake pads is about 40,000 to 50,000 miles depending on your driving habits as well as the type of traffic you experience in the Burlington area. The more often or aggressively you use your brakes or if you haul or tow frequently can wear your brake pads quicker. If you coast to a stop or do lots of highway driving without stop-and-go traffic, your brake pads will last longer.
