2018 Dodge Journey Brake Pads and Rotors

When it comes to the 2018 Dodge Journey, replacing both brake pads and rotors together often delivers the safest and most cost-effective outcome. New pads installed on worn or warped rotors will wear unevenly and can lead to vibrations, noise, and reduced stopping performance. Our technicians always inspect rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition before recommending resurfacing or replacement. At Herb Chambers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM FIAT of Millbury, we use OEM-spec pads and rotors engineered to match factory braking balance, pedal feel, and longevity. That means more predictable stops and less noise over time. We also replace hardware—caliper slides, clips, and shims—when needed to prevent premature pad wear. Choosing our dealership for combined pad-and-rotor service provides immediate benefits: better braking performance, a longer service interval, and warranty-backed parts and labor. You can review current savings on our service specials, then schedule service online for a convenient appointment that fits your day.
