Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a brake service important for a 2024 Toyota 4Runner?

• Safety: Properly inspected and serviced brakes reduce stopping distance and help prevent accidents on urban roads and highways.
• Preservation: Regular brake servicing protects vital components — pads, rotors, calipers and brake lines — extending their life and avoiding costly failures.
• Performance: A routine service ensures consistent pedal feel, reliable ABS function and proper brake balance for towing or heavy loads.
• Efficiency: Addressing wear early can prevent damage that leads to more expensive repairs, delivering immediate and long-term savings compared with delaying service.
• Certified care: Repairs covered under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage; our factory-trained technicians use OEM parts and tools for correct diagnostics and repair.

How long does a brake replacement take?

• Typical timeframe: Replacing brake pads generally takes about 60–90 minutes for one axle when performed by experienced technicians with OEM parts and proper tools.
• Rotor replacement: If rotors need machining or replacement, allow 1.5–3 hours depending on parts availability and whether both axles are serviced.
• Efficiency advantage: At Nalley Toyota of Roswell, our trained technicians, dedicated service bays and OEM tooling let us complete jobs faster and more reliably than many independent shops.
• Inspection-first approach: We always inspect pads, rotors and hardware up front and advise if additional time is required so you know the schedule before we begin.
• Warranty work: Any warranty-covered repairs must be handled at a certified dealership and may affect timing due to parts authorization; we’ll manage that process for you.

How often should you replace the brake pads and rotors for a 2024 Toyota 4Runner?

• Brake pads: Typical pad life varies widely — commonly between 30,000 and 70,000 miles — depending on driving style, environment and towing frequency.
• Rotors: Rotors often last longer than pads but should be inspected at every pad change for scoring, thickness and warping; replacement intervals can range from 50,000 miles to beyond 100,000 miles.
• Driving factors: Towing, stop-and-go traffic, and hilly terrain increase wear and shorten service intervals; regular inspections catch accelerated wear early.
• Dealer inspections: Our factory-trained technicians follow Toyota guidelines and will recommend pad or rotor replacement when measurements, wear indicators, or performance suggest it’s needed.
• Warranty and recordkeeping: Having service performed at a certified dealership preserves warranty rights and maintains a documented service history that helps protect vehicle value.
