How long does a brake replacement take?

• Typical front or rear brake pad replacement: about 1 to 2 hours, depending on inspection and any additional maintenance such as hardware or brake fluid flush.
• Rotor replacement usually adds time—expect 2 to 3 hours for pads and rotors per axle when machining or rotor replacement is required.

How much does a brake service cost for a 2018 Toyota 86?

• We provide transparent estimates and explain immediate vs. long-term savings: quality parts and proper installation extend component life and reduce repeat visits.
• Check current offers and savings on our service specials, and remember we provide service financing so you can get necessary repairs now and pay later.
• For a precise quote, contact us or schedule service for an inspection—repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.

How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

• Brake pad life depends on driving style and conditions; many drivers expect 30,000–60,000 miles, while aggressive driving or track use shortens service intervals.
• Rotors typically last longer than pads but should be inspected at every pad change—resurfacing or replacement depends on thickness, runout, and heat damage.
• Routine inspections at your dealership help catch early wear and prevent expensive rotor or caliper damage; schedule regular checks to maximize longevity.
• Use our online tools to schedule service and review current service specials that lower your out-of-pocket cost while ensuring proper parts and labor.
