Frequently Asked Questions

How often should brake pads be replaced?

Brake pad replacement intervals depend on your driving habits, vehicle type, and the type of brake pads. Typically, pads should be replaced every 25,000 to 50,000 miles. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or carry heavy loads, you may need to replace them more often. Regular inspections help determine when replacement is necessary.

What are the signs of worn brake rotors?

Signs of worn brake rotors include a pulsating or vibrating brake pedal, grinding or squealing noises when braking, and visible grooves or scoring on the rotor surface. If you notice these symptoms, it’s essential to have your rotors checked by a professional to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is needed.

How can I tell if my brake fluid needs to be changed?

Brake fluid should be checked during routine maintenance. If it appears dark or murky, it likely needs replacing. Additional signs include a spongy or soft brake pedal, which can indicate moisture in the brake lines. Most manufacturers recommend changing brake fluid every two years, but checking your owner’s manual is advisable.

How can I tell if my brake fluid needs to be changed?

Squealing noises often indicate worn brake pads, which have reached the wear indicator. Other causes can include brake dust buildup, moisture, or inferior-quality pads. If you hear consistent squealing, it’s best to have your brakes inspected to prevent further damage and ensure optimal performance.

Why does my brake pedal feel soft or spongy?

A soft or spongy brake pedal can result from air in the brake lines, low brake fluid levels, or a failing master cylinder. This issue can significantly impact braking performance, so it’s crucial to have it checked promptly to ensure safe and effective braking. Bleeding the brakes or other repairs may be necessary to resolve the issue.
