2020 Ford Explorer Brake Specials in Lakewood, CO

Pricing is per axle with upfront estimates provided at Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood before work begins.

Brake service for a 2020 Ford Explorer is quoted per axle (front or rear), because pad compound, rotor condition, and hardware needs can differ. You’ll receive a written estimate that reflects OEM-spec parts and the exact services your vehicle requires after inspection. Schedule online to review options and current offers.

• Per-axle quotes (front and rear priced separately)
• OEM-spec pads and hardware, rotor measurement included
• See current service specials and schedule service

Most single-axle pad and hardware replacements are completed the same day after inspection and approval.

Actual time depends on rotor condition (resurface/replace), seized hardware, and any additional repairs found during inspection. You’ll get a timeline with your estimate so you can plan pick-up in Lakewood or arrange a ride. Book ahead to minimize wait time.

• Same-day service for most per-axle pad jobs
• Time varies if rotors are below minimum thickness
• Easy online schedule appointment

Pad life varies by driving style and terrain; mountain descents and stop‑and‑go traffic shorten lifespan.

Front Range driving can be demanding on a 2020 Ford Explorer—canyon grades build heat and frequent city stops increase wear. Our technicians measure remaining pad thickness in millimeters and compare it to Ford’s service limits to forecast your next service window. If you tow or regularly drive I‑70 into the foothills, plan on more frequent inspections.

• Pad thickness measured and documented at each visit
• Driving in Denver traffic and mountain routes accelerates wear
• Receive a maintenance plan based on your usage

Five common signs are squealing, grinding, vibration, longer stopping distances, and a brake warning light.

If your 2020 Ford Explorer squeals at low speed, pulses through the pedal, or needs more distance to stop, the pads or rotors may be worn or uneven. A red brake light or ABS light also warrants immediate inspection. Schedule an evaluation in Lakewood to prevent rotor damage and maintain safe braking.

• Squeal from wear indicators; grinding suggests pad material is gone
• Pulsation indicates rotor thickness variation or hot spots
• Warning lights: have the system scanned promptly

A complete service includes pad measurement, rotor thickness checks, hardware replacement as needed, lubrication, fluid check, and a road test.

Our Ford-certified technicians perform a visual inspection, measure pad material in mm, mic the rotors against minimum spec, clean and lube slide pins, and replace pad hardware when applicable. We also check brake fluid condition and pedal feel, then validate performance on a road test.

• Measured inspection with OEM specifications
• Hardware service and caliper slide lubrication
• Brake fluid check and documented road test results

Replace both only if rotors are below minimum thickness or damaged; if within spec, pads alone are acceptable.

Our team measures rotor thickness and runout against Ford’s specifications. If rotors meet spec and surfaces are healthy, new pads with proper bedding restore braking. If rotors are under spec, heat-checked, or uneven, pads and rotors should be replaced together to avoid vibration and premature wear.

• Rotor micrometer and runout measurements documented
• Follow Ford minimum thickness spec for safety
• Recommendations shared before any work proceeds

Dealers use OEM-spec parts and procedures, while independents may offer different parts at varying price points.

At our Lakewood Ford facility, you’ll receive pads that match factory noise, vibration, and pedal feel targets, plus rotor measurements and a road test. Independent shops can be a good option too; compare parts quality and what’s included. We provide written estimates and document all measurements for clarity.

• OEM-spec pads and hardware, fluid check, and road test
• Factory-trained technicians and Ford procedures
• Transparent estimates; view service specials

Brake pads and rotors are wear items and typically excluded; manufacturing defects may be covered at a certified facility.

Warranty coverage focuses on defects, not normal wear from use in city traffic or mountain driving. If you suspect a defect, schedule an inspection at our Ford-certified service department so we can verify eligibility and handle claim documentation.

• Wear-and-tear items are usually not covered
• Defect-related concerns evaluated to Ford criteria
• Book an evaluation: schedule service

The 2020 Ford Explorer uses a rear-wheel-drive layout with four-wheel disc brakes and ABS for confident stopping in varied Denver metro driving. Front and rear axles employ ventilated rotors designed to manage heat during mountain grades and highway travel. Our technicians verify rotor thickness against Ford’s minimum specifications and document pad material in millimeters before recommending parts. If your Explorer tows or frequently descends canyons, we can advise on pad compounds that balance noise control and heat resistance within OEM-spec options. Bring your 2020 Ford Explorer to Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood in Lakewood for an OEM-spec brake service — schedule service.

Every visit begins with a visual inspection and precise pad measurement. We mic the rotors and compare to Ford’s minimum thickness, clean and lubricate caliper slide pins, and replace pad hardware when needed. A brake fluid level and condition check is performed, followed by proper torqueing procedures and a road test to confirm pedal feel and stopping performance. You’ll receive a written estimate and measurement results before any work. If you’re watching costs, review our current service specials. Ready to book? Schedule service online.

We serve drivers from Lakewood, Denver, Littleton, Golden, Arvada, Aurora, and Westminster with brake inspections and repairs tailored to local conditions. Frequent stop‑and‑go traffic in the city accelerates pad wear, while canyon descents west of town increase heat and can lead to rotor thickness variation if issues go unaddressed. Our Ford-trained technicians document pad thickness and rotor measurements so you can plan maintenance with confidence. Find us at 11595 West 6th Avenue, Lakewood, CO 80215.
