Q: How bad are the brakes on my 2006 Toyota Highlander

asked by on May 31, 2017

Tien recommended replacing the brake pads on my Hylander in the next year. I would like him to give me an estimate of how soon the brake pads should be replaced from what he saw on the recent oil change.

My car has 134000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
