Brakes
Your braking system is one of the most critical safety systems on your vehicle. A typical brake service includes checking:
- Anti-lock brake sensor
- Brake fluid level
- Brake pad wear
- Brake rotors or discs

5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Brake Pads

- Longer brake stopping times
- Brake Pad Indicator Light

How Often Should You Change the Brake Pads?
Most manufacturers recommend changing the brake pads every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. However, if you notice any of the signs we will discuss below, you want to change the brake pads immediately. Allowing brake pads to become too thin can lead to more costly issues, such as a brake rotor replacement.
