Brake drums must be replaced every 6 months or every 100,000 km! The braking system determines the safety level of the vehicle, therefore it is important to keep a close eye on the condition of the brake parts.
When you need to replace your drum brakes right away
1. squeaking and various noise effects in case of braking
2. long braking distance
3. slipping and pedal to the floor

Every car component has a limited service life, after which it must be replaced. This includes brake pads. The wear of brake pads depends on several factors, meaning they will need replacement after a certain period.
First signs that your brake pads need replacement
Squeaking or unusual noises while braking
Jerks when stopping the vehicle
Extended braking distance
Excessive brake pedal travel
Pedal sinking to the floor or slipping
If your car shows any of these signs, it’s important to replace the brake pads immediately instead of waiting for scheduled maintenance. Delaying the issue may lead to complete brake failure, putting your safety and your passengers’ safety at risk.
On average, drum brakes should be inspected regularly — every 6 months or every 100,000 kilometers. If you notice malfunctions in any brake system components, take the car to a service station as soon as possible.

Road surface quality
Driving style (aggressive driving can wear out pads faster)
Climate conditions (temperature changes, rain, snow)
Previous brake jobs and how well they were performed
Brake drums
Brake hoses and lines
Wheel brake cylinders
Dust boots
Cylinder seals
If needed, we also clean and lubricate components of both the main and parking brake systems.
Drum brakes are a type of braking system in which the car slows down when brake pads press against the inside of a rotating drum.
Each drum brake pad consists of two parts:
A metal base
A friction material lining
When the brake pedal is pressed, the pads are pushed against the drum, and the friction between them slows the vehicle down.
Drums should always be replaced in pairs
Drum lifespan depends on driving habits and ranges from 100,000 to 150,000 km
After replacement, the system should be cleaned and its operation checked
Drive smoothly and avoid harsh braking
Change pads on both sides of the axle at once
Regularly check wear on the brake pads and drums whenever possible
Effective brakes are not only about driving comfort — they’re crucial for your safety. Regular diagnostics at MB Master service centers and timely replacement of brake pads will help you avoid costly repairs in the future.
The time required depends on the vehicle model and complexity of the job. Typically, this process takes anywhere from a few hours to one full day.
