Top brake maintenance tips:

• Driving habits: One aspect of proper brake maintenance and making sure your everyday driving habits aren’t causing any unnecessary wear on your brakes. Be sure to avoid heavy, late or unnecessary braking. In addition, don’t overload your vehicle with too much cargo, as excess weight can put a strain on your brakes.

• Replace Brake Fluid: Brake fluid plays an important role in the inner workings of the various parts that compose your car’s brake system. Over time, brake fluid can accumulate moisture, which is detrimental to your brake parts. We recommend replacing your brake fluid every 25,000 miles or so.

• Part Replacement: Your vehicle’s braking system is highly complex and requires that all parts are functioning correctly for smooth, safe braking. Keeping up with your braking system’s part replacement is important for the overall safety and longevity of your brakes.

• Regular Inspections: Having your brake rotors and pads inspected on a consistent basis is crucial for the overall health and performance of your braking system. These two parts do the most work to help your car brake, and therefore need to be replaced most often.
