  • Why Mountain Driving Destroys Your Brakes — And What to Do About It

    Why Mountain Driving Destroys Your Brakes — And What to Do About It
    Aug 26 2026

    In this first episode of the America's Auto & Tire

    Podcast, our mechanics explain why driving Colorado's

    mountain passes — like Wolf Creek, Coal Bank, and Red

    Mountain Pass — puts way more stress on your brakes

    than regular flat-road driving.


    What we cover:

    - Why descending long grades overheats brake pads

    - Signs your brakes need attention before a mountain trip

    - How often Colorado drivers should get brake inspections

    - What our technicians check during a brake service


    Whether you're a daily commuter in Durango, planning a

    ski trip near Montrose, or passing through Grand

    Junction — this episode could save you from a breakdown

    on the side of a mountain.
