How Often Do I Need Brake Service?

While driving conditions and regularity of vehicle usage may impact how regularly your brakes should be checked, automotive professionals typically suggest a brake inspection at least once every six months. Your vehicle’s owner’s manual should include a detailed service maintenance schedule, which will include a timeline for brake service. In many cases, automotive technicians will perform a brake check at the same time as another service, such as tire rotation.

How Do I Know If My Brakes Need Replacement?

One of our technicians will be able to identify if your brakes need replacing after a thorough examination. However, there are several indicators that may suggest a replacement may be needed, including:

  • Your vehicle takes longer than usual to come to a complete stop
  • Brakes working louder than before
  • A spongy or otherwise unusual-feeling brake pedal response
  • Your vehicle begins pulling to one side when braking
  • Excessive vibrations when braking

 

How Can I Take Care Of My Brakes?

A vehicle owner’s driving habits can have a noticeable effect on the lifespan and wellbeing of their brakes. Sudden and hard braking at high speeds are hard on your brakes, and strain the braking system more than gentle, gradual braking. Similarly, regular travel with heavy loads of cargo can put additional force on your brakes, wearing them down more than normal.
