Q:
How often should I have my brakes serviced or inspected?
A:
You should have your brakes serviced or inspected at least every 7,500 miles. It’s important to keep in mind that brake components wear out at different intervals and under different driving conditions. So, if you notice noises such as squealing, chirping and grinding, as well as pedal pulsations, come in for service.
Q:
What brake components wear out?
A:
Brake calipers, brake pads, brake rotors, brake shoes and brake hoses will all need to be repaired or replaced at some point as part of regular brake service and maintenance during the normal lifespan of a vehicle.
Q:
Do I always need to turn or replace my vehicle’s rotors when changing the brake pads?
A:
No. If there are no conditions such as pedal pulsation or steering-wheel vibration during braking, and the brake rotor is at least 1 mm thicker than the discard thickness, then it does not need to be turned or replaced.
