Larry H. Miller Honda Murray offers up-front, per-axle pricing for brake pad replacement—contact the service center for current per-axle pricing.

Brake job cost varies with parts choice (OEM vs. aftermarket), whether rotors need machining or replacement, and local labor rates. At our Murray service center we provide a written estimate showing parts, labor, and any necessary hardware so you can compare options.

• Up-front per-axle pricing is provided by Larry H. Miller Honda Murray.
• Estimates list pads, rotors, labor, and hardware where applicable.
• Ask about available service specials before you schedule: service specials.

Most routine brake pad services can be completed the same day at our Murray service center; exact time depends on whether rotors are replaced or resurfaced.

Turnaround depends on parts availability and whether a rotor machine or replacement is required. During busy periods or when parts must be ordered, the job can take longer—our advisors provide an estimated completion time when you drop off the vehicle.

• Same-day service is common for pad-only jobs when parts are in stock.
• Rotor replacement or machining adds additional time.
• Schedule a time online to reduce wait: schedule service.

Brake pad life varies widely with driving conditions; severe stop-and-go traffic and canyon descents accelerate wear compared with mostly highway driving.

There is no single mileage that fits every driver. Salt Lake Valley commuters and drivers who frequently descend mountain roads will see faster pad wear than light highway drivers. We inspect pad thickness at recommended service intervals and advise replacement based on measured wear.

• Driving patterns (city vs. highway) drive pad wear rates.
• Heavy braking on canyon descents increases heat-related wear.
• Have pads checked during routine service to track remaining life.

Common signs include squealing from wear indicators, grinding noises, a pulsating brake pedal, increased stopping distance, or a dash brake warning light.

Any of these symptoms warrant an immediate inspection—especially in Utah’s mixed driving conditions where safety margins matter. A squeal often means pads are near the wear limit; grinding suggests pad or rotor damage and requires prompt attention.

• Squealing or chirping indicates worn pad wear indicators.
• Pulsation in the pedal often points to rotor thickness variation or warping.
• Grinding usually means metal-on-metal contact and needs immediate service.

Our brake service includes a visual inspection, pad thickness measurement, rotor thickness check, hardware inspection, and a road test; additional work is itemized in your estimate.

We follow a clear inspection workflow so you know which components meet specs and which need attention. If rotors are outside minimum thickness, the estimate will list replacement as a recommended action.

• Visual inspection and pad thickness measurement are standard.
• Rotor thickness is measured; machining or replacement is recommended when out of spec.
• Road test and final quality check are completed before return.

Whether to replace pads and rotors together depends on rotor thickness and surface condition after measurement; if rotors meet minimum thickness and surface condition, pads-only replacement is acceptable.

Technicians measure rotor thickness and inspect for scoring, heat spots, or runout to make a recommendation. If rotors are worn or damaged, pairing new pads with new rotors prevents uneven bed-in and extends service life.

• Rotors are measured to the manufacturer minimum thickness during inspection.
• If rotors are within spec and smooth, pads can often be changed alone.
• When replacing both, we install hardware kits and perform a proper bed-in procedure.

Dealer service uses OEM-spec parts and factory repair information; independent shops may offer lower labor or different parts—choose based on your priorities for OEM fit, documented procedures, and warranty handling.

Dealer service follows Honda specifications for pad material, torque values, and bedding procedures and documents work in the vehicle's service history. Independent shops can be a cost-effective choice but may use non-OEM parts and different procedures.

• Dealer: OEM-spec parts, factory procedures, documented service history.
• Independent: potential cost savings, variable parts and procedures.
• Ask each provider about parts brands, warranty, and written estimates.

Brake wear items (pads and rotors) are typically considered regular maintenance and are not covered by new-vehicle limited warranties; manufacturing defects may be covered under certain conditions.

Wear from normal use is generally excluded, but a defect in materials or workmanship may qualify for coverage. Warranty work typically requires inspection at a certified facility and documentation of the issue.

• Normal wear items like pads and rotors are usually excluded from new-vehicle warranty.
• Defects in materials or workmanship may be covered—inspection required.
• Warranty-related repairs should be performed at a certified facility and documented.

The 2013 Honda Civic is a compact coupe driven across the Salt Lake Valley and into nearby canyon roads; those varied routes affect brake wear patterns. We serve Murray and neighboring communities including Salt Lake City, Sandy, Millcreek, and West Jordan, and we tailor inspections to local driving conditions—frequent stop-and-go commutes accelerate pad wear, while steep canyon descents generate heat that can shorten rotor life. Our advisors document inspection findings and provide clear options so you can decide whether to replace pads only or address rotors and hardware at the same time. To schedule a convenient time, schedule service or check current offers on service specials. Visit us at 5808 S State St, Murray, UT for directions and assistance.

Brake components for the 2013 Honda Civic vary by axle and option; service technicians reference factory specifications when measuring pad thickness and rotor minimums. Pads and rotors are inspected visually and with a micrometer to confirm remaining life; caliper slides and hardware are checked for free movement and corrosion. OEM pads are designed to meet Honda NVH and braking performance targets for the 1.8L, 4-cylinder Civic powertrain. If rotors measure below manufacturer minimum thickness or show scoring or heat spotting, replacement is recommended rather than resurfacing. Bring your 2013 Honda Civic to Larry H. Miller Honda Murray in Murray for an OEM-spec brake service — schedule service.

Our brake service follows a step-by-step inspection and repair workflow: visual inspection of pads and rotors, pad thickness measurement, rotor thickness and runout measurement, cleaning and lubrication of caliper slides, replacement of hardware where needed, and a final road test to verify stopping performance. Any recommended rotor machining or replacement is shown on a written estimate. Warranty handling follows manufacturer guidelines for defects; normal wear items are typically treated as maintenance. We also accept online pre-approval for financing when larger repairs are needed—ask the service advisor for details. To arrange service, schedule appointment.
