Brake Pad Replacement in Bakersfield, CA
Is your Dodge or Ram vehicle in need of new brake pads? Rather than delaying the replacement process, take a few minutes to read through the points below to learn how we at Haddad Dodge Ram can take care of this matter for you with our talented team!
The Importance of Brake Pads
For your car’s braking system to function properly, brake pads are one of the key parts due to the role that they play in generating stopping power. To be specific, these pads press against the rotors to create friction, and it’s that friction that helps the wheels slow their rotations based on how much pressure you apply to the brake pedal. That means that if you’re driving around Bakersfield with a set of faulty brake pads, then it won’t take long for you to notice how detrimental they can be to performance. And in the event that you’ve already had a few close calls due to your car's inability to slow down effectively, then you’re long overdue for scheduling a service appointment at our dealership location.
Testing Your Car’s Brake Pads
Brake pads can last for up to 30,000 miles in many cases, and that number will also be higher or lower depending on how well you take care of them amidst your trips to Polo Park and other attractions around town. Like any other part of your vehicle, they’re subjected to wear, tear, and degradation over time, so the more time you spend on the road, the more likely they are to go bad, and this process can be sped up considerably by poor driving habits. This is why our Service Department will take the time to thoroughly inspect your car’s braking system in addition to the health status of the brake pads. In the event that we find them in too poor of a condition to continue driving with, we’ll certainly recommend that you allow us to handle the replacement process.
Replacing Your Vehicle’s Brake Pads
If you’ve ever looked through the holes in your car’s wheels, you’ve probably caught a glance of the brake pads, as this is where they are located. However, that means that in order to have them removed, you have to take the wheels off first. Luckily, you can leave this easy work to our factory-trained technicians. Not only will we remove the old brake pads, but we’ll also dispose of them in a safe manner during the process of installing the new parts. Once that’s completed, you can then get back to enjoying your regular commutes on Route 99 with a Ram 1500, Dodge Charger, or Dodge Durango that feels as responsive as the day you brought it home. Schedule your service appointment at our dealership today to get your vehicle’s maintenance needs taken care of!
How Long Do Brake Pads Typically Last?
- Brake pads can last for around 30,000 miles, but you should consult the Owner’s Manual of your vehicle to see the recommended service timeline for these parts.

Thank you again Alex and mechanical staff.
“ I have a 2012 Dodge ram that I bought from Haddad in 2014 It has been a terrific truck. Alex Zarate has been my service advisor through some recent repairs. Although you never want to have to work on your truck but after ten years it's bound to happen. Alex has been nothing but helpful and understanding with me and the services I've received. I always have believed in bringing your vehicle to the dealer. The cost is well worth the warranty and level of service i have received. Alex Rodriguez, the service manager was very helpful as well any time I had an issue. Thank you again Alex and mechanical staff. ”

“ My name is Jennie Milstred my husband Kevin & I went into Haddad just to test drive a 2025 Durango. I knew exactly which one I wanted to drive . Eli (Salesman) asked if he could help us something. My husband told him which one we were looking for & he took us right to it. We drove it right away it was so easy he had the keys & off we went lol. Eli was awesome very helpful & friendly my husband & him had a lot in common so conversation was easy. We got back to the dealership and Kevin said let’s look at numbers. I was shocked I thought this was test it see if we like it & then look for the best price. But to my surprise my birthday was the next day Feb 5th and he says work the numbers get us out of our 21 Camry without being upside down. Eli took us into his office & got all info & took it to the sales office. And to our surprise the sales manager is Jr a long time friend. Then Robert another salesman we knew was also working there Jr & Robert are a team they sold me a Jeep in 2019. We have worked with him on other car purchases. Jr is amazing at what he does. You never leave unhappy. Robert was able to step in & help a little bit with some computer things that needed to be done with the Durango while Eli was able to finish with the window sticker & paper license plates lol. They work so well as a TEAM!! We had the most amazing & awesome experience at Haddad buying our 25 Dodge Durango R/T. We got a fabulous price, great incentives and treated with respect the entire time we were there. But I must say it was the fastest we have ever bought a car. We test drove, did paperwork, approved numbers & signed the deal in less than 2 hrs. That’s how good they are at what they do. If your looking for a Dodge or Ram or even something on the used lot go see this TEAM of guys. Jr the sales manager Eli a salesman & Robert a salesman you won’t regret it. No high pressure sales they are chill & let you take the lead on the deal not pushing what they want they are there to work with you & for your best deal& interest. They will take care of you I promise. Please tell them the Jennie or just the Milstred’s sent you. Thank you Guys I can’t say enough about you keep up the awesome work. Thank you Kevin & Jennie Milstred 2025 Dodge Durango R/T ”
