Brakes work hard every time you drive, whether you’re tackling those steep hills, navigating stop-and-go traffic, or hitting the brakes for that squirrel who just had to cross the road. Over time, all this effort wears down the components that make your car stop safely.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to get your brakes checked.
No matter how your brakes are trying to get your attention, it’s best to listen. Ignoring the signs can lead to costly repairs – or worse, an unsafe drive.
You should check your brakes at least once a year or every 10,000 miles. Regular checkups can spot wear and tear before they become, well, a full-blown brake-down.
What are the signs I need brake service?If you hear grinding, squeaking, or feel vibrations when braking, it’s time for a checkup. Other red flags include a spongy pedal, longer stopping distances, or that ominous dashboard light.
What’s included in a brake service?A typical brake service includes inspecting pads and rotors, checking fluid levels, and testing overall performance. If needed, we’ll replace pads, resurface rotors, or refresh the brake fluid. It’s like a spa day for your car’s most hardworking parts.
How long do brake pads and rotors last?Brake pads typically last between 25,000 and 65,000 miles, while rotors can go 30,000 to 70,000 miles. Of course, if you’re a fan of hard stops or drive through mountainous terrain, expect to replace them sooner.
At Gettel Hyundai of Lakewood, we don’t just fix brakes – we make them better than ever.
