Hidden
How often should I get my brakes checked?
It is recommended to have your brakes tested at least once a year or every 12,000–15,000 miles. This can typically be done during routine maintenance visits. However, if you notice unexpected noises, vibrations, or longer stopping distances, it is a good idea to get them checked right away.
What are the signs that my brakes might need to be replaced?
Common signs include squealing or grinding sounds, a soft or spongy brake pedal, and vibrations when braking, just to name a few.
How long do brake pads usually last?
Brake pads typically last from 25,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on driving patterns, vehicle type, and road conditions.
Why are my brakes squeaking?
Squeaking can occur due to worn pads, dust or particle buildup, or moisture on the rotors. A professional inspection by our team can help decide whether the problem is minor or requires replacement.
What is the difference between brake pads and rotors?
Brake pads create friction against the rotors—metal discs—to slow the vehicle. Both components wear over time and may need to be replaced together for optimal braking performance.
