Are life time brake pad warrantees a good value?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Lifetime warranties aren't all they're cracked up to be. You will have to read the fine print. Normally, The warranty will only stay with the owner of the car. Meaning if you sell the car the warranty isn't transferred to the new owner if he tries to replace them. Also, If you have the car for like 500,000 miles then the parts store will end replacements after like 3-4 sets of replacement pads. Hope this helps. Here is a tutorial showing how to replace the rear brake pads and rotors:

Here is a YouTube video from our site showing how to compress the rear caliper piston:
