Brake discs and pads are key components of the braking system, directly responsible for road safety. Even minor wear can lead to longer stopping distances, vibrations during braking, and damage to other components. At Mario Garage (Cagnes-sur-Mer), we provide professional diagnostics and replacement of discs and pads using only high-quality materials and modern equipment.

We work with premium vehicles (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche) as well as other brands, strictly following manufacturer specifications and standards. Correct replacement and bedding-in of pads ensure smooth, reliable braking without squeaks or vibrations.

When to Replace Brake Discs and Pads

• Squeaking, squealing, or metallic noise when braking

• Vibrations in the steering wheel or body when braking

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

How often should brake pads be replaced?
On average every 20,000–30,000 km, depending on driving style and vehicle brand.

Can I replace only the pads without the discs?
Yes, if the discs are not excessively worn or deformed. Severely worn discs must also be replaced.

What happens if I drive with worn pads?
The metal base of the pad damages the disc, braking distance increases, and the risk of caliper failure grows.

How long does it take to replace discs and pads?
Usually 1 to 2 hours depending on the car model.
