One Day Brakes uses ceramic brake pads as standard on every job. Quieter, longer lasting, and better for rotors than semi-metallic. Included in all pricing — no upcharge.
Quick Answer
One Day Brakes uses ceramic brake pads as our standard on every job. We never install semi-metallic or organic pads unless specifically requested. Ceramic pads run quieter, produce less dust, last longer, and perform more consistently in Houston heat. They are standard on most new vehicles from Toyota, Honda, BMW, and Lexus. We use the same compound grade or better than OEM. Included in all brake pad pricing — no upcharge. Pads from $174/axle.
Why Ceramic
Ceramic brake pads offer several advantages over semi-metallic pads: they run quieter, generate less brake dust, have a longer lifespan, and perform more consistently across the temperature range of daily driving. In Houston heat, ceramic pads maintain more consistent performance than organic compounds.
Semi-metallic pads are cheaper but noisier and can be harder on rotors. Organic pads wear faster. We use ceramic as our standard because it is what your vehicle likely came with from the factory — and it is better for everyday Houston driving.
