RODA SERVICE
Replace Rear Brake Pads and Rotors
Your rear brakes may handle less stopping power than the front, but they’re essential for balance, stability, and safety. Over time, brake pads and rotors wear down from heat and friction, leading to noise, vibration, and reduced braking efficiency.

Why Estimates May Vary
$540 - $1080 with RodaCare
$600 - $1,200
Our goal is full transparency — pricing may vary based on:
- Vehicle type and brake system design (larger or performance vehicles may require specialized parts)
- Condition of existing components (rusted or seized hardware may need additional labor)
- Material choice (standard vs. premium brake pads or rotors)
We’ll always provide an exact quote after inspection — no surprises, ever.
When You Need This
Rear brakes often wear more slowly than front brakes, but they’re just as critical to your vehicle’s safety and comfort.
Squealing, Grinding, or Clicking Noises
If you hear sharp or metallic sounds while braking, your pads are likely worn down and scraping the rotors.
Vibration or Pulsing When Braking
Warped or uneven rotors can cause shuddering through the pedal or steering wheel.
Longer Stopping Distance
If it takes more effort to stop, your pads may be too thin or the rotors too worn to create enough friction.
Scheduled Brake Maintenance
Most brake pads last 30,000–70,000 miles. Replacing them at the right time prevents uneven wear and costly damage.

⚠️ What happens if you skip it? ⚠️
Ignoring worn brake pads or rotors can lead to metal-on-metal contact, reducing stopping power and damaging your brake system. Over time, that can increase repair costs and compromise your vehicle’s safety.
How This is Done
We replace your rear brakes with precision, care, and attention to every safety detail — following manufacturer torque specs and testing for perfect balance.
1. Brake Inspection

Old pads and rotors are safely removed; calipers are checked for leaks or sticking.
3. Install New Pads & Rotors
OEM-quality components are installed for smooth, reliable braking.
4. Lubricate & Adjust
Contact points are cleaned and lubricated to prevent squeaks and ensure even wear.
5. Final Road Test
We confirm proper brake balance and pedal feel before returning your vehicle.

Rated 5-stars by hundreds of DC-area drivers
“Roda was a great service. I hit a pothole and had a blow out. They came and picked the car up downtown, fixed it, and dropped it back at my house. I'll definitely check them out again.”
- DAVE W.How do I know if my rear brakes need replacing?
Listen for squealing or grinding noises, feel for vibration, or check for longer stopping distances — these are all signs of wear.
Do I need to replace rotors every time?
Usually, yes. Rotors wear with pads, and replacing both ensures smooth braking and longer component life.
Will new brakes feel different?
Yes — braking will feel firmer and smoother, and any noises or pulsations should disappear.
How long will new rear brakes last?
Typically between 30,000–70,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and conditions.
What does the Roda warranty cover?
Every brake service is backed by our Roda 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty, covering both parts and labor for your peace of mind.
