Brakes are vital for road safety and more complex than they might appear. Your brake system’s fluid, lines, pads, rotors, calipers, and master cylinder all need to be kept in great shape with routine checks at your Acura dealership. Here’s a guide on how frequently to book an inspection.
It’s important to take a proactive approach to maintaining your brakes. Don’t wait for symptoms of worn-out parts before giving your brakes some professional attention.
With regular inspections, you’ll always be aware of how each pad and rotor is doing and how soon you’ll need to replace them. You’re also less likely to experience hazardous issues from contaminated or leaking brake fluid.
Twice a Year Is a Good Rule of Thumb
It’s typically safest to schedule a brake inspection every six months. This kind of regular interval doesn’t give the components time to deteriorate excessively.
Twice a year, our technicians can take off your car’s wheels and remove each brake part for careful examination. They can then keep you informed as to the condition of your pads and rotors or replace worn-out components in a timely manner.
Driving Habits Impact Brake Longevity
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to brake maintenance; daily driving habits often determine how long the pads, rotors, and fluid last. Car owners who spend most of their driving hours on the highway use their brakes less than commuters stuck in daily stop-and-go traffic.
Aggressive driving is another factor; drivers who use their gas and brake pedals more than necessary will need more frequent brake inspections and part replacements. Towing heavy trailers and using steep, hilly roads also put more strain on the brakes. Also, needless to say, if you use your car less frequently than other drivers, your brakes will last longer.
Respond Quickly to Signs of Brake Trouble
Your brakes might occasionally give you warning signs that it’s time for an inspection. If your brakes start squeaking excessively or grinding one day, have them checked. Leaking brake fluid or reduced stopping power are two more urgent indications that your brakes need immediate attention.
