However, having a lifetime guarantee does not mean that you will never need new brake pads again. In most cases, it only means that the manufacturer or shop that sold you the warranty will give you the new brake pads free of charge when you bring them your worn out set.

20,000 to 80,000 miles Depending on your vehicle, climate, brake parts, and driving patterns, your brake pads or shoes may last anywhere from 20,000 to 80,000 miles. Brake fluid can last 2-5 years.

1. Classical Mythology. a Phrygian king, son of Gordius, who was given by Dionysus the power of turning whatever he touched into gold. 2. a person of great wealth or great moneymaking ability.

Midas was a man who wished that everything he touched would turn into gold. However, he had not thought that this wish was not actually a blessing, but a curse. His greed invites us to think and realize the consequences that may lead us to become slaves of our own desires.

What is the warranty coverage for brakes? Generally, car warranties do not cover wear items like brake pads, rotors, shoes, and drums, however, a manufacturer may authorize a warranty repair if excessive wear is not detected upon inspection on a vehicle less than a year old.

Brake pads can last anywhere between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. Their longevity depends on your driving style and typical driving conditions. Using data provided by Federal Highway Administration statistics on how many miles people drive annually, typical brake pads will last between 3 and 7 years.

The story of King Midas and The Golden Touch reminds readers of two very important things: remember what really matters and be careful what you wish for.

King Midas of Phrygia is a familiar figure in Greek mythology, but he may have been based on an actual late-8th century BCE ruler known in Old Phrygian inscriptions and Assyrian sources as 'Mita of Mushki' (r. 738 BCE to c. 696 BCE).

Midas (/ˈmaɪdəs/; Greek: Μίδας) was the name of a king in Phrygia with whom several myths became associated, as well as two later members of the Phrygian royal house. The most famous King Midas is popularly remembered in Greek mythology for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold.
