Why is Brake Inspection Important?  

A brake inspection is essential to ensure your brake system is working well. A thorough brake inspection can detect issues before they become major problems, saving you from costly repairs and accidents.   

A regular brake inspection is recommended every 12,000 miles, but it is essential to inspect them more frequently if you notice any signs of wear and tear. Some signs that your brake system needs inspection include squealing or grinding sounds, vibration or pulsation when applying the brakes, or if the vehicle pulls to one side when you brake.  


How to Inspect the Brakes  

Here are the steps to inspect your vehicle's brake system:  

  • Check the brake pads - The brake pads should have a thickness of at least a quarter inch. If they are thinner than that, they need to be replaced. The technician will also check for uneven wear,     cracking, or glazing.  
  • Check the brake calipers - The brake calipers should be free of leaks, damage, or wear. They should also be able to move freely.  
  • Inspect the rotors - The rotors should be smooth and free of grooves, cracks, or warping. If there are any defects, the rotors must be replaced or resurfaced.  
  • Check the brake fluid level - The brake fluid should be at the recommended level. If it is low, it could indicate a leak or a problem with the brake system.  
  • Inspect the brake lines - The brake lines should be free of any leaks, rust, or damage. If there are any defects, they need to be replaced.  

When to Replace the Brakes  

Brakes have a lifespan of about 50,000 miles, but this can vary depending on your driving habits, road conditions, and the quality of the brake components. It is essential to replace the brake system if you notice any signs of wear and tear or if the technician recommends it during an inspection.
