Types of Services
Whether you’re getting your vehicle checked up with a multi-point inspection or you’re simply worried about your brakes for some reason or another, the first brake service you should be getting done is a brake inspection. Most of the time, we won’t find anything and you’ll be on your way. Sometimes, you’ll need additional services to repair or replace your brakes. These include resurfacing the rotors or drums, flushing the fluids, re-alignment or replacing the pads, shoes, caliper, hose or master cylinder.
Service Frequency
Figuring out when and how often you should be getting your brakes checked and ultimately serviced is as easy as checking your owner’s manual. Information on these services and any others that your vehicle might need can be found in your manual. While the exact figure will vary based on your vehicle and other factors, such as its age, the best rule of thumb is to get your brakes inspected once a year or every 10,000 miles if you drive more than that in a year. This is the best rule to follow.
Replacement Signs
Outside of getting your brakes checked annually, you should always be paying attention to how your vehicle is acting. Noticing new sounds, smells, vibrations, movements and so on is usually a sign that something might be wrong with your vehicle, and that’s true for your brakes as well. If you’re hearing new sounds when you apply pressure to the brakes, or if it’s harder or easier to press the pedal, there could be something wrong so you should bring it in for an inspection. Other things to note include brake warning lights or leaking fluids.
