Brake Bedding Guide
After any brake pad or disc replacement, a proper bedding-in process helps optimize performance and prolong component life. Here's our recommended procedure after your brake service:
Initial Break-In (First 200 miles)
- Avoid harsh or emergency braking if possible
- Allow longer stopping distances
- Brake gently to allow gradual heat cycling
Bedding Process (Empty Road)
- Find a quiet, empty stretch of road
- Accelerate to 30mph and brake firmly to 10mph (not stopping completely)
- Repeat 8-10 times with cooling periods between
Avoid During Break-In
- Prolonged or aggressive braking
- Stopping completely during bedding cycles
- Driving in stop-and-go traffic immediately after service
When to Contact Us
- If you notice unusual noises after the break-in period
- If braking performance feels inconsistent
- If the brake pedal feels different than expected
This bedding process helps transfer an even layer of brake pad material onto the disc surface, optimizing braking performance and reducing the likelihood of brake judder or noise issues. Our technicians will provide a detailed guide specific to your vehicle after service completion.
