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.
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.
If you’re unsure, the expert team at CFM NAPA Autopro can create a more precise maintenance schedule for your car to keep your vehicle operating smoothly. The new pads we install on your vehicle will restore your brakes to manufacture specifications. We can also install upgraded parts to increase your power and to stop and reduce brake noise and brake dust.
Whether it’s worn-out brake pads or contaminated brake fluid, we can accurately detect any issues with your braking system so that you can get back on the road with peace of mind. Our certified and fully authorized shop offers several options to meet your requirements and your budget.
