Close Brake Pad Replacement in Indianapolis, IN
It's truly exciting to drive around Indianapolis, but coming to a halt is just as important. Get a brake pad replacement for your vehicle at Speedway Volkswagen, and schedule your appointment online today.
Purpose
The complex series of mechanics is responsible for slowing you down when you give the order. Placing your foot on the brake pedal enables specialized fluid to become pressurized. This force is then transferred to the calipers near each of the wheels on your Volkswagen Tiguan, Jetta, or ID.4. These then squeeze the brake pads against metal rotors to reduce the speed of your vehicle. Since brake pads are made from a softer material than the other parts, they help to minimize the heat that’s generated during the stopping process. However, this also means that they are often the first parts that need to be replaced.
Warning Signs
It is imperative that you know what warning signs to look out for when it comes to the brake pads on your car. For example, a high-pitched screeching or grinding noise often accompanies worn-down brake pads. This is because the metal underneath the pads has begun to make contact with the rotors, which can do further damage to both components. Some models have a dashboard warning light that will engage if there is a problem with the brakes. If this illuminates, come to our Service Department right away. Most cars need new brake pads every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, but be sure to check your Owner’s Manual. Driving in stop-and-go traffic adds stress to the system, so visit more frequently if you are often delayed on your way to Riverside Park.
Replacing the Brakes
Are you ready to swing by our nearby location for a brake pad replacement? Our skilled team members will start by lifting the car up and taking each wheel off. That way, we can get a better look at the brakes within. Next, we’ll measure each pad to see if any need to be changed. If the rotors and calipers are still in good shape, we’ll simply equip genuine Volkswagen components so that you can resume your safe travel along I-65. The process takes about 30 minutes per brake pad on average, so feel free to wait in our lounge or have us give you a call when the maintenance is completed.
How Long Do Brake Pads Last?
- We recommend getting a brake pad replacement every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, but always double-check your Owner's Manual.
Dealership Information
Testimonials
Dealership is lovely
Great experience
“ Great experience & love my new car! ”
Amanda was straightforward and easy to work with
“ We chose Speedway Volkswagen for one simple reason. They advertised and offered the most favorable Sign and Drive lease deal on the Tiguan of any VW dealer in the city. Perhaps most importantly, it wasn’t a loss leader type of deal. There wasn't just "one available at this price". They had numerous vehicles available, all at comparable savings. Amanda was straightforward and easy to work with. ”
Great Experience
“ Great experience all around at Speedway VW. Ryan George was fantastic and super knowledgeable. He found me the exact Cross Sport that I wanted in the color that is pretty tough to find. I appreciate all of the effort from the whole team. The finance department was especially helpful. ”

“ Came in for warranty service. The Service Writer, Steve, took care of everything and they even washed the car for us. This is a very professionally run dealership and I'm happy to recommend them. ”
Amazing!
“ I just got my new lease through Speedway Volkswagen, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! Nick and Jerad were amazing—super accommodating with my budget and schedule, and they made the whole process unbelievably easy. I didn’t even have to step foot in the dealership since they knew it would be tough for me to get there with a full-time job and a toddler at home. They also got me an awesome deal on the car I really wanted but didn’t think I could get! Taylor was great on the financing side too—everything was smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure I was getting the best deal possible. I’m so happy to be part of the Speedway Volkswagen family and know I’m in good hands! ”

Seamless Transition
“ Traded in 2 vehicles and received full amount of their worth. Seamless transition and bought an Outback Wilderness. Love this car. Love those folks at Speedway Subaru. I even left a 500 dollar pair of shades in the compartment. When I called they already had them set aside. Their service center is always ready to help with any questions. Justin was my salesman. I'm sure others their are just as good, but my experience with this knowledgeable person is someone I would always make reference to. Look him up if interested in buying a car. You won't be disappointed. ”
Would definitely recommend this dealer!
“ Just bought a used Honda from Speedway Subaru. The experience was really great! As I was driving, I noticed a crack in the windshield that I missed during the test drive. I told them about it and they immediately scheduled for Safelite to come out and replace it free of charge! Would definitely recommend this dealer! ”
