Replacement of Brake Discs/Pads – Škoda Superb (2024)

A Škoda Superb (2024) arrived at our workshop today for the following service: replacement of brake discs and pads. When the vehicle was received, we carried out a brake system diagnostic, a visual inspection of the front and rear brakes, and prepared the car for a complete service procedure.

During the reception, we noted that the unique details of this visit gave it a distinctive character and made it interesting from both an operational and technical point of view.

Below we provide a detailed description of the work performed and answers to the most frequently asked questions.

Service Procedure – Replacement of Brake Discs and Pads

For the brake disc/pad replacement on the Škoda Superb (2024), we performed a professional service procedure according to the manufacturer’s specifications. The work included checking the wear of the brake discs and pads, measuring disc thickness, checking for thermal deformation, inspecting the brake calipers and guide pins, checking the brake fluid, and then installing the new components.

On modern vehicles such as the Škoda Superb (2024), proper brake condition is crucial for passenger safety, vehicle stability, and the correct operation of driver-assistance systems. That is why replacing brake components according to the manufacturer’s recommendations is essential.

The materials used and the work procedures always comply with the standards set by the manufacturer—this is important not only for safety, but also for the lifespan of the new brake components and maintaining the warranty.

Most Frequently Asked Questions People Search For

1. How do I know I need to replace brake pads or discs?
The most common signs of worn brakes include squealing when braking, vibrations in the steering wheel or brake pedal, a longer stopping distance, uneven braking, or visible wear that can be seen with the naked eye. If brake discs show deep grooves or warping, braking performance can drop significantly and braking can become unstable. Worn pads may also trigger a warning light or produce a scraping sound when the friction material is gone. Driving with pads below the minimum thickness can damage the discs and increase repair costs. Regular visual checks and measuring pad/disc thickness help detect problems early. If any of these symptoms appear, it’s best to have the brake system inspected as soon as possible.

2. How often should brake discs and pads be replaced on a Škoda Superb?
Replacement intervals depend on driving style, operating conditions, and the quality of brake components. Brake pads typically wear faster because they are the main friction element and may need replacement sooner in city traffic with frequent braking. Discs usually last longer, but they can wear out quickly if pads are left too long or if the vehicle is driven aggressively. Heat, heavy loads, and repeated hard braking can accelerate wear and increase the risk of disc warping. Regular inspections during service intervals are the most reliable way to judge real wear rather than relying only on mileage. Replacing pads on time helps protect the discs and keeps braking performance consistent. For safety, it’s recommended to check brake condition routinely and replace components based on measured wear and manufacturer tolerances.

3. Is it safe to drive with worn brakes?
Driving with worn brake pads or discs is very unsafe. Wear increases stopping distance and can reduce braking stability, especially at higher speeds or in emergency situations. Overheated or damaged components may lead to vibrations, pulling to one side, brake fade, or even brake system failure. Worn brakes can also damage calipers and other parts, making the repair more expensive. In addition, compromised braking performance puts extra strain on electronic safety systems that rely on predictable braking behavior. Regular brake inspections are one of the easiest ways to prevent serious risks and costly damage. If you notice any warning signs, have the brakes checked promptly to keep the vehicle safe and roadworthy.

Conclusion
After completing the work, we tested the Škoda Superb (2024), checked brake performance, and prepared it for safe operation. If your vehicle needs professional brake disc and pad replacement, we’ll be happy to provide the same level of care.
