Preventative Brake System Maintenance
Preventative maintenance extends the life of vehicle systems and prevents expensive repairs. This includes your automobile’s braking system. In general, you should plan to have your brakes serviced every 20,000 miles, but this varies depending on your vehicle’s make, model, and year and your driving habits. Check your owner’s manual to see the recommended mileage duration between services.
A brake system inspection and service includes:
- Measuring the brake pads to see how many miles they have left on them
- Checking the brake fluid level and cleanliness
- Checking for brake fluid leaks
- Inspecting the brake drums and/or rotors
- Checking the wheel cylinders
- Inspecting all brake hardware for wear
- Inspecting the brake hoses for cracks and leaks
During a preventative maintenance brake inspection, we inspect all of the above and replace anything that has worn down or is leaking. This prevents damage to your brake system. We can also tell you approximately when you’ll need to have your brake pads replaced after we inspect them.
