When to Have Your Brakes Serviced
Brake service should be done at the right intervals for your brake pads as well as brake rotors. With brake pads, around every 30,000 to 50,000 miles is the suggested time, while you should do it sooner if you see any brake wear from the pads. Rotors should be replaced every 50,000 to 70,000 miles as well unless there's another issue. Other things our team will inspect to ensure your brakes are in working order is your brake fluid, which should be replaced every 45,000 miles, while you'll want to monitor your brake calipers so they don't become too worn down, especially on an older vehicle.
Besides the standard intervals, brakes should be checked to see if you need repairs if you're hearing a squeaking or squealing nose as you drive or apply the brake pedal. If your brake pedal is pulsating when you put your foot down, that's also a sign. Additionally, rattling and clicking noises might be indicators, along with decreased stopping power.
