2018 Volkswagen Passat Brake Pads and Rotors

When servicing a 2018 Volkswagen Passat, replacing both brake pads and rotors together is often the most effective way to restore braking performance, reduce vibration, and extend component life. Installing new pads on worn rotors can lead to uneven pad wear, noise, and reduced stopping power; conversely, pairing new pads with properly resurfaced or replaced rotors delivers even contact, consistent braking feel, and longer intervals between services. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood, our approach is diagnostic-first: we inspect pad thickness, rotor runout, and caliper operation, then recommend the best course—resurface or replace—based solely on condition and long-term value. Using OEM parts and manufacturer-approved procedures preserves ABS calibration and brake feel that matches factory specifications. We also clearly explain immediate costs versus lifetime savings, showing how performing both pad and rotor service now prevents repeat visits and reduces total ownership expenses.
