How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors?

• Brake pad life for a 2017 Subaru Outback depends on driving style and conditions; many customers see 30,000–70,000 miles, but frequent towing or mountain driving shortens that span.
• Rotors can last through multiple pad changes, but uneven wear or scoring can require replacement; we inspect rotors every service to give an honest recommendation for safety and economy.
• Routine inspections at the dealership help catch uneven wear early, prevent costly rotor replacement, and maintain braking performance — schedule an inspection any time you notice noise, vibration, or reduced pedal feel via our schedule service page.
