When Should I Get My Car Brakes Checked?

Your brakes are the most important part of your car, if you want to drive safely and stay out of collisions. How do you know when it is time to have your brakes serviced or repaired?

Some professionals say you should get your brake pads replaced every 20,000 or 60,000 miles, depending on how you drive. If you live in a mountainous region or in a city with a lot of slow-moving traffic, you should have your brakes serviced more frequently…and repaired if necessary. When is the last time you had your vehicle's brakes looked at?

At the same time, you should always look for symptoms of failing brakes no matter how many miles you have driven.

  • Does it take longer to reach a complete stop, or do you have to push down on the brake pedal harder?
  • Are your brakes squeaking or making another strange sound?
  • Does your car pull to one side when you are braking?
  • Do you see possible fluid leaks near the four corners of your car?
  • Did your brake warning light come on?
