2026 Dodge Charger Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing both brake pads and rotors together on a 2026 Dodge Charger is a best-practice that maximizes stopping power and longevity. When pads are placed on worn rotors you risk uneven bed-in, vibration and premature pad wear; addressing both components at once restores the braking system to factory spec.

We use OEM-grade rotors and pads engineered for the Charger’s large-car, performance-class demands, ensuring proper friction characteristics, noise reduction and consistent performance under repeated heavy braking. Handling both parts at once also reduces labor time compared with staggered repairs and often qualifies for bundled savings through our service specials. We’ll explain immediate costs and long-term value, and our service financing options let you get safe stopping power now and pay over time. To lock in time with trained factory technicians and minimize downtime, schedule service online and arrive confident your Charger will leave performing like it should.
