How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

2026 Volkswagen Golf R Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing brake pads without addressing rotor condition can leave you with uneven braking, vibration, and shortened pad life. That’s why our technicians always inspect both pads and rotors together and recommend combined service when necessary. Installing new OEM pads on worn or warped rotors may reduce stopping efficiency and lead to premature replacement—our approach minimizes repeat visits and maximizes long-term value. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood, we stock factory-approved parts and use calibrated tools and procedures specific to the Golf R’s turbocharged inline-4 and AWD platform. Choosing combined pad-and-rotor service here often costs less over time than piecemeal repairs from independent shops because we focus on durability and factory fit, plus we include thorough testing after service. To protect performance and resale value, schedule service with us and check our current service specials—ask about service financing if you prefer to pay over time.
