Brake Service Intervals
For most vehicles, brake replacement intervals often vary between 15,000 and 25,000 miles to ensure the pads and rotors or drums and shoes are in working order. Brake fluid is another component of the vehicle braking system that is often forgotten, playing a critical role as the fluid that helps disc and drum brakes utilize friction to slow you down. This fluid has a standard service interval of around every 24 months or 36,000 miles.
Signs Your Brakes Need Replacement
Since vehicle brakes have wide service intervals that change depending on vehicle operating conditions or driver habits, having your brakes inspected periodically is the best way to ensure you can stop safely. Other signs that drivers can utilize to identify when they need service include:
- Brake pedal feels squishy or falls to the floor before vehicle slows down
- Squealing, grinding, or whirring noises when applying pedal pressure
- Increased braking distances are needed to stop comfortably
- Brake light on the dashboard is illuminated
