Brake repair and replacement services

This goes without saying – the brakes on your vehicle are highly important for the safety of you and others on the road. It’s important not to ignore the warning signs, as the longer you go without servicing your brakes, the more damaging it is on your vehicle. When brake pads are completely worn out, metal brake components will grind on the rotor and will need to be replaced.

The first signs of defective brakes

The first signs of a problem is if you hear a high-pitched sound when you press on the brakes. If your car shakes when you apply the brakes, you need to have your vehicle serviced immediately.

How often do you need to service your brakes?

How often you need servicing on your brakes will vary depending on use, your driving style, and how frequently you are carrying heavy loads in your vehicle.

With repeated heavy braking, pads and rotors wear out more quickly while decreasing fuel efficiency. For those who frequently use their vehicle to carry heavy loads for deliveries or for commercial use, you’ll want to have the brake system checked more frequently.

Taking your vehicle in regularly for brake service is a good practice to identify any problems early on. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend seeing a professional technician every 12,000 miles for a check up. Additionally, brake pads tend to wear out at about 25,000 miles with normal driving and brake fluids need to be replaced around the same period.
