RODA SERVICE
Replace Front Brake Pads and Rotors
Your front brakes handle most of your vehicle’s stopping power — and over time, heat and friction wear down both the pads and rotors. When that happens, you might hear squealing, feel vibration, or notice it takes longer to stop.

Why Estimates May Vary
$540 - $1080 with RodaCare
$600 - $1,200
Our goal is full transparency — pricing may vary based on:
- Vehicle type and brake system design (larger or performance vehicles may require specialized parts)
- Condition of existing components (rusted or seized hardware may need additional labor)
- Material choice (standard vs. premium brake pads or rotors)
We’ll always provide an exact quote after inspection — no surprises, ever.
When You Need This
Your brakes will usually warn you before they become a safety concern. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to replace them.
Squealing, Grinding, or Clicking Noises
If you hear sharp or metallic sounds while braking, your pads are likely worn down and scraping the rotors.
Vibration or Pulsing When Braking
Warped or uneven rotors can cause shuddering through the pedal or steering wheel.
Longer Stopping Distance
If it takes more effort to stop, your pads may be too thin or the rotors too worn to create enough friction.
Scheduled Brake Maintenance
Most brake pads last 30,000–70,000 miles. Replacing them at the right time prevents uneven wear and costly damage.

⚠️ What happens if you skip it? ⚠️
Driving with worn front brakes increases stopping distance and puts extra stress on your rear brakes and calipers. Over time, that can cause uneven wear, safety risks, and higher repair costs.
How This is Done
We follow a detailed, safety-first process for every brake service to ensure reliable performance and even wear.
• Brake Inspection
We inspect pads, rotors, and calipers to determine exact wear and condition.
• Remove Worn Components
Old pads and rotors are safely removed; calipers are checked for leaks or sticking.
• Install New Pads & Rotors
OEM-quality components are installed for smooth, reliable braking.
• Lubricate & Adjust
Contact points are cleaned and lubricated to prevent squeaks and ensure even wear.
• Final Road Test
We confirm proper brake balance and pedal feel before returning your vehicle.

Rated 5-stars by hundreds of DC-area drivers
“Roda was a great service. I hit a pothole and had a blow out. They came and picked the car up downtown, fixed it, and dropped it back at my house. I'll definitely check them out again.”
- DAVE W.How do I know if my front brakes need replacing?
Listen for squealing or grinding noises, feel for vibration, or check for longer stopping distances — these are all signs of wear.
Do I need to replace rotors every time?
Usually, yes. Rotors wear with pads, and replacing both ensures smooth braking and longer component life.
Will new brakes need a break-in period?
Yes — typically 200–300 miles of gentle braking helps the new pads and rotors seat properly.
How long will new brakes last?
Typically between 30,000–70,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and conditions.
What does the Roda warranty cover?
Every brake service is backed by our Roda 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty, covering both parts and labor for your peace of mind.
