Brake Pad Replacement in Hackensack, NJ

Brake Pad Replacement in Hackensack, NJ

When it comes time to get your brake pads replaced, you’ll most likely want to know everything about their function and any other important information pertaining to keeping them in good condition. Read our helpful guide to learn more about this crucial service, and don’t hesitate to contact us with any lingering questions.

Types of Brake Pads

There are a wide variety of brake pad types that you can make use of while you make your way through the streets of Hackensack. While you’ll likely be offered the original manufacturer components when you get the replacement done, you’ll still have the ability to swap them out for a new set. You can spring for the organic brake pads, which are the parts that are most commonly used in vehicles. The ceramic pads are more expensive than the aforementioned option, but they offer a higher quality as a result. Semi-metallic brake pads are the most expensive option, but they also will provide the best results as you cruise down Central Avenue.

Warning Signs

While it can be difficult to know exactly when it’s time to pay our Service Department a visit to get your brake pads replaced, there are a couple of red flags you can keep an eye out for while you make your trips to and from Foschini Park. If it takes longer than usual to bring your vehicle to a complete stop, you most likely need to come to our location for a replacement. Do you hear a squealing sound when you apply braking pressure as you approach a red light? That’s a sign that they aren’t operating in peak condition. Finally, if your check engine light is illuminated while you drive, then that’s a surefire signal that you need to come to our location for servicing.

Brake Pads

We’ll round this off by discussing what exactly brake pads do. They’re responsible for slowing the rotating disc down so that you can apply the necessary braking force to bring your vehicle to a complete stop. In order to drive safely, it is imperative that this component functions properly. The consequence of not properly caring for it is that you run the risk of causing an accident with other vehicles or even pedestrians on the road. It is generally recommended that you get your pads replaced once every 30,000 miles, but this can vary depending on your vehicle’s make and model. Be sure to check your Owner’s Manual for a more accurate estimate, and be sure to come down to our location at your earliest convenience!

 

What Are Some Warning Signs for Faulty Brake Pads?

  • Taking longer than usual to come to a complete stop
  • Squealing noise and vibration when braking
  • Brake light is illuminated

Diana was very efficient knowledgeable, and courteous. The facility was clean and run like clock work. Our finance director Steve E. made the purchase process quick and easy. We have been to several Toyota dealerships over the years and Toyota of Hackensack is by far the best. Will definitely go back there in the future.

All of them at Toyota Hackensack are respectful and nice. I hope that it will continue to be like that way even when the sale is over. Mr Michael Park is awesome. He show us all possible RAV 4 that’s on their place, even my son’s wish to see a Supra, he pulled it out from the garage to show my daughter for my son and I have to mention Mr John Ramirez who’s equally nice and very helpful from the beginning to the end of the sale. Mr Mike in the financing dept is so welcoming and very accommodating as well. As a whole , Toyota Hackensack is the place to go!! We need respectful people these days and Toyota Hackensack has it all!! 🙏♥️

(Translated by Google) undefined (Original) Buying a car couldn’t have been easier. They didn’t have exactly what we wanted at first, but they got the right car on the lot in just a few days. When we picked it up, we were in and out in 30 minutes - super quick. Jonathan was professional, kind, and never once tried to pressure or upsell me, and his communication was excellent. The whole experience was stress-free. Highly recommend working with him!

I had a very frustrating experience with Hackensack Toyota, despite ultimately being happy with the vehicle itself. Purchased a 2024 Toyota Prius LE 01/31/2026 The car was advertised online as Certified Pre-Owned, which was a major reason I made the trip. Once I arrived, I was told it could not be sold as CPO due to a recall. This was not disclosed ahead of time, and it felt misleading — as though the CPO listing was used simply to get me in the door. I was also very clear before arriving that I had limited time and could not spend several hours at the dealership. To help speed things along, I completed my insurance paperwork in advance while on the way and had financing approval in place prior to arrival. Despite all of this, the process still took over three hours, which was extremely disappointing given the advance notice and preparation. I made it clear from the beginning that I did not want add-ons, GAP, or extended warranties. Despite declining three to four times, I continued to be pushed and was even pressured to explain why I didn’t want them. Comments were made implying I was irresponsible or “crazy” for declining certain coverages, which was unprofessional and unnecessary — “no” should have been sufficient. One additional detail I noticed only after getting home was that a Hackensack Toyota dealership sticker had been placed on the back of the vehicle. The car did not have this branding prior to purchase, and it was added without my knowledge or consent. While minor on its own, it contributed to the overall feeling that customer preferences were not being respected. That said, I do want to be clear that the vehicle itself is exactly as described and I am happy with it, and Liam, the salesperson, was polite and professional throughout the process. My frustration is with the overall lack of transparency, time management, and high-pressure tactics — not with him personally. Buying a car should not feel this exhausting, especially when a customer comes prepared and communicates clearly. I expected a smoother and more respectful experience. The final photo confirms the adhesive residue left after I removed a Hackensack Toyota sticker that was added to the vehicle without my consent. This was discovered only after I got home. 02/01/2026 Update: It is now the day after I posted this review, and I still have not received the warranty coverage information I requested. 02/03/2026 10:15am Update: They’ve sent over the documentation of the warranty 02/03/2026 3:22pm “Response to dealership reply” - The dealership was aware in advance that my wife would be signing remotely, and all pre-approval and insurance paperwork was completed prior to arrival. The extended wait time still occurred. I also have not yet received the warranty coverage information I reached out about after purchase. The defensive nature of the dealership’s response, rather than acknowledgment or follow-up, reinforces the one-star rating based on my overall experience. Update: This was originally a two-star review. After the dealership’s initial response, I lowered it to one star due to how my concerns were addressed. The General Sales Manager Mario has since reached out, handled the situation professionally, and took the time to listen and follow up. Because of that, I’ve updated the rating back to two stars. While I appreciate the GSM Mario’s professionalism and accountability, the overall experience still wasn’t an enjoyable one, so I don’t feel a higher rating would be accurate. 02/04/2026 9:35am

Edit to respond: when picking up the car, it showed ~2k miles on the dashboard so there was a discrepancy in accounting for the mileage, since it was stated it was "915" on paper. So someone must have driven it between the time "915" was noted and when I picked it up. Additionally, I called the front desk and was transferred around to sales and financing to discuss the missing key a while back. Purchased a vehicle in May and there were a few things that happened that would make me not recommend this dealership to anyone looking to purchase a car. First, the process was what you would expect. Minimal flexibility on pricing and high interest rates. There was an error on my title due to admin on their end. This error could only be amended in person so i had to return to the dealership, which was frustrating but I went in the middle of a weekday and the staff was prompt and fixed it. When i picked up the car, there were dirty footprints all over the interior. I assumed it would have had a basic cleaning before the customer picked it up but thats on me for assuming incorrectly. Additionally, during the purchase, i was told that they only had one car key and the second would arrive "in the fall." I found this odd, but they blamed this on supply chain issues and reassured that i would get it eventually. When fall and winter approached, I called the dealership to check on the status of my 2nd key and was passed around on the phone until someone hung up on me. All I wanted was an answer on where my 2nd key is. The salesperson I was assigned to is no longer with the company so that made it more challenging with communications. Overall, would not recommend due to poor communication and a missing key.

Terrible service. I took my car in for an oil change and they never did it. They also didn’t rotate the tires as they said they would. In fact, I have a dash cam that activates when the car is turned on, and after checking the videos I only have footage of when I dropped it off and they drove it to the parking lot, and then when they turned it on again to bring it back to me. At no point did I see any videos inside the shop showing any work being done. It’s really sad and very disappointing that this happened.
