FAQs

The frequency of brake service can depend on various factors including driving habits, driving conditions, and the type of vehicle. However, a general rule of thumb is to have your brakes inspected at least once a year or every 10,000 to 15,000 miles. Of course, if you notice any unusual sounds, reduced brake responsiveness, or any other irregularities in braking performance, it’s important to seek professional brake service immediately.

The time between brake services is influenced by the quality of components used, the expertise of the servicing team, and the car’s usage patterns. Brake pads, for example, typically need replacement every 30,000 to 70,000 miles, though this can vary.

In essence, a routine brake service is a small investment that yields significant returns in safety, performance, and vehicle longevity
