2013 Honda Fit Brake Pads in Avon, IN | Hare Honda

A grinding sound means the friction material is gone and the backing plate is contacting the rotor, so stop driving when safe and book service. Measurement determines whether replacement is needed.

• Squeal or scrape during braking
• Grinding noise from the brakes
• Longer pedal travel or stopping distance

The replacement pads are matched to the vehicle’s braking system. Rotors, calipers, hardware, and brake fluid condition are assessed together because brake components work as a system.

• Pad measurement on all four corners
• Replacement with compatible brake pads
• Inspection of rotors, calipers, hardware, and fluid condition

City traffic, towing, hills, and hard stops can shorten pad life. The manufacturer’s maintenance schedule does not establish a brake-pad interval for this model year, so measured material and the vehicle’s condition guide service timing.

• City traffic creates frequent braking
• Hills and towing increase braking work
• Hard stops accelerate wear

Rotors are inspected during brake-pad service along with calipers, hardware, and brake fluid condition. Replacing pads while ignoring a rotor or related brake concern can shorten the life of the new pads.

• Rotors are inspected during the service
• Calipers and hardware are assessed
• Brake fluid condition is checked

Squealing, scraping, longer pedal travel, or longer stopping can also signal a need for prompt inspection. Stop driving when safe and arrange brake service, because continued contact can damage the rotor.

• Grinding means the friction material is gone
• The backing plate may contact the rotor
• Longer stopping requires prompt attention
