What’s Involved in Brake Service?

Your vehicle’s brakes make up one of its most critical systems for keeping you safe on the road. This system is comprised of several components, which all have their own typical periods of wear and timelines for service.

The system components include:

• Rotors
• Pads
• Shoes
• Brake fluid

The brake pads and rotors work together by creating the friction needed to slow down your wheels when you apply pressure to the brakes. Brake pads typically need to be replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 miles, while rotors can last 50,000 to 70,000 miles.

It’s recommended that the average driver have their brake fluid replaced every 45,000 miles. Brake fluid helps to magnify the pressure you apply to the brake pedal so that it can be transferred to the brake pads for the resistance that stopping requires.

How Will You Know When You Need Brake Service?

If you follow the advice for the frequency of brake service, you can stay ahead of the curve and avoid the warning signs of worn brakes. Your vehicle owner’s manual has several pages with maintenance intervals, and included in those are the manufacturer’s suggestions for brake system care.

However, there may be times when life just gets too busy and you go a little longer than normal between brake checks. If you notice any of the following symptoms, let them serve as a reminder to call our service center ASAP:

• Vibration
• Screeching sounds
• Extra time required to slow down or stop
• Veering to one side when you aren’t turning the wheel

If your brake system’s dashboard warning light comes on, that’s a sure sign that you need brake service right away. You should avoid driving and bring your vehicle to us as soon as possible so we can diagnose and fix the issue.
