I’m Timothy Ballard, owner of a used car dealership in Springfield. I love just about everything automotive, but I have a special place in my heart for trucks. I’m an ASE Certified Master Technician, so I know my way around a car. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my family and hiking new trails.
I apologize for my limited knowledge in the field of cars, but I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I had the brakes replaced on my Honda Civic 2-2.5 years ago, but now they need to be replaced again. According to Google, brakes should last at least 5-6 years or 50-60k miles, but mine only lasted around 30k. I’m wondering if I’m at fault for this due to my driving habits. If so, could you recommend a specific brand of brakes that are known to be better and last longer? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
