Rear brake pads generate stopping power with the front brake pads. All brake pads wear down with enough stops and faster in severe conditions. The only difference is that the rear pads generally handle less load due to the reduced weight on the average car’s rear axle. This causes brake pads to wear down at variable rates and lends itself to getting the front and rear brake pads replaced exclusively as needed to get the most out of all brake pads.
Rear brake pad replacement services are completed in our state-of-the-art facility by a certified technician and genuine Volkswagen OEM parts according to strict service standards. We will remove the worn rear pads, inspect the other braking parts, and install new rear brake pads to specifications. Service includes a complimentary multi-point inspection and concludes with a driving test to verify the results.
Brake pads need to be replaced when they measure 3mm or .1 inch thick, which is a small sliver creating stopping power. Volkswagens equipped with brake pad monitoring have a dashboard warning light that comes on at this point. Older models continue to have a warning indicator strike the rotor to emit an audible metallic screech when brake pads require replacement. It is always a good idea to inspect brake pads at major service intervals to be safe regardless of your Volkswagen model.
