Why Brake Maintenance Is So Important
Braking systems experience constant wear from heat, friction, and environmental exposure. Over time, your pads, rotors, calipers, and fluid begin to degrade — and ignoring the warning signs can lead to reduced stopping power, costly repairs, or even brake failure.
Common signs your brakes need attention:
- High-pitched squealing or grinding sounds
- Vibration when braking or steering
- Soft or spongy pedal feel
- Increased stopping distance
- Brake warning light illuminated

When Should You Schedule Brake Service?
Brake wear varies based on driving habits, terrain, and traffic. Most drivers should plan on inspecting their brakes at least once a year — or sooner if you drive in heavy traffic, tow frequently, or travel in mountainous regions.
Typical brake service intervals:
- Pads: Every 25,000–50,000 miles depending on usage
- Brake fluid: Every 2–3 years or 30,000 miles
- Rotors: When thickness is below manufacturer specs or warped
