Although the exact composition varies from one manufacturer to another and is usually proprietary information, the best quality Mercury Villager Brake Pads are made from a mixture of steel wool, different types of resin, and Kevlar - the same substance used in the manufacture of bullet-proof body armor. The best brake pads will last as long as 100,000 miles, although this can be shortened by great amounts of stop-and-go city driving. You can extend the life of your Mercury Villager Brake Pads by developing better driving habits - anticipating stops well in advance, for example.

Nothing puts more wear on your car than sudden starts and stops. When you rush to get to an intersection at which the signal is red, you are taking many miles off the life of your engine as well as your brakes.

By downshifting and allowing the engine's compression to slow your vehicle, you're putting less stress on the brake pads - and chances are, the light could be green by the time you reach it, meaning you won't have to restart the vehicle from a dead stop. This alone can add many thousands of miles to your car's life. That said, your brake pads will eventually wear out. It's a fact of life. When you start to hear that annoying squeal or whining sound when applying the brake, it's an indication that its time for new Mercury Villager Brake Pads. Your brakes may continue to function satisfactorily for several hundred miles after these sounds start, but if you continue to ignore it, that squealing will eventually turn into a grinding sound - which means serious problems.Don't wait - order your brake pads from us today.
