Looking for a ballpark guess as to how many miles before the brakes will need to be serviced under normal driving conditions (if there is such a thing). My car just turned 38K and I have never heard as much as a squeak from the brakes. I meant to ask the dealer at the last inspection but totally forgot.

Took a quick look in the owner's manual but that just seemed to address changing the brake fluid etc.

 

I have 82K on the original pads. When my foot goes to the floor or when the calipers on the disc makes a painful noise then I will worry about it. As of now, the car stops as new.

 

I've got just over 45k on my 05 and my Acura Tech buddy said I've got prob 2-3k left on my front pads and 10-15k on the rear pads.

I'm a little rough on the brakes - love the stopping power of the front Brembo's - but do a search on the TSB that's been issued for the front brakes - my tech buddy said that they'll flat-out replace the front pads, rotors and possibly even calipers at no charge, which would get you many many more miles before you've got to worry about a brake job.

 

Got mine serviced at 55K

 

53K on original pads - last measurement taken was 6mm. I was quoted $250 for front adn $189 for rear.

 

Thanks for the replies.

Looks like it will still be a while before I have to worry about brakes. I'll check that TSB out too. Not sure if my VIN is within the range of qualified vehicles.
