During the life of your vehicle, you should expect to replace the brake pads and rotors at least once. When you replace the brake pads, you might consider having the rotors machined to provide a fresh surface for the new pads. How frequently you'll need brake service depends on how often you drive, where you drive, and the quality of the brake parts installed.
It's recommended you ask a service technician to check your brakes around the same time as a tire rotation - roughly every six months. Understanding the rate of wear for your specific brake parts will help you plan ahead for brake pad and rotor machining or replacement service.
Waters Tire specializes in brake service. From routine maintenance to the installation of new brake parts, we restore and maintain safe brake performance for customers in Woodruff, SC, Greenville, SC, Simpsonville, SC, and surrounding areas.

Machined rotors extend brake pad life, reduce the likelihood of squealing, and allow for more fluid braking. We use a state-of-the-art, Pro-Cut rotor machining system. This on-car brake lathe allows our technicians to machine rotors on your car without removing them first. This saves time on brake service, while ensuring your brake pads have a smooth surface to work with for responsive and comfortable braking.
Machining is best on thick brake rotors. Some manufacturers install lightweight rotors to performance attributes at the cost of rotor life. Talk with a member of the Waters Tire team if you're not sure whether it's better to replace your rotors or machine them.
You might not think about your brake system often, but the power to stop safely can be the difference between a close call and the exchange of insurance information. A daily commute in a local town or city will see you stopping frequently at lights or for pedestrians. If your brake system isn't performing like it should, then it's time to have your brakes checked to identify the source of the problem and have it fixed.
