Stopping is as important if not more important than starting
We all know how important brakes are, and they should be checked each time that you have your vehicle serviced. Brake pads typically start between 10-12mm of brake pad. This depends on they type of vehicle that you drive. Passenger cars and pickups are usually closer to the 10mm range, and diesel pickups and larger heavier vehicles start at 12mm.
Your brake pads wear from the caliper squeezing the brake pad onto the brake rotor. This is what makes you stop, so each time you brake a little bit of material is worn off. They are designed to for this.
When your brake pads get down to 3-4mm then it's time for them to be replaced. Typically depending on how you drive and the type of material that your brake pads are made of this can be years before you need to worry about replacing your brake pads.
