How Often Should Brakes Be Checked?

At the absolute minimum, you should have your brakes checked once a year to ensure they are responsive. This can help you avoid costly replacements in the future. It is recommended that you get your brakes replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 miles, depending on the quality of the brakes.  Your rotors should be replaced every 50,000 to 70,000 miles. This will keep your brakes functioning optimally and allow you to stop when you need to the most.

If you notice any of the following, schedule a brake service appointment to have your brakes looked at as soon as possible:
  • You feel your car pulling to one side when braking
  • You notice your car vibrating when you are braking
  • Your car takes longer than usual to come to a stop
  • Your brakes are continuously squeaking, squealing, or grinding
  • You need to pump your brakes for them to work properly
  • Your brake pedal feels unusually soft, spongy or hard
