We won’t belabor the point too much. Brakes are pretty important. If you can’t trust them, you can’t drive. Driving with damaged brakes is more than dangerous; it’s damaging to your vehicle. When you notice problems with your brakes, it’s likely friction between two parts that should be interacting that way. Brakes start with the pedal, which connects you to your wheels via hydraulic lines that send pressure to your brake pads when you press the brake. Once you press the brake, the brake pads clamp down around the rotors and use friction to slow the vehicle. This friction indicates your brake pads need to be replaced at regular intervals to slow down effectively. The hydraulic fluid in your brake lines also degrades over time, requiring periodic replacement.

As a rule of thumb, it’s good to have your brakes looked at once a year. You can usually ask your technician to inspect your brakes during a regular maintenance appointment. Your brake fluid usually needs to be replaced every two or three years, and your brake pads should be replaced every 30,000 to 75,000 miles. That’s a wide margin, but it depends on how you drive. If you’re hard on your brakes, you’ll need to replace them earlier. Not sure when your brakes were last serviced?
