How Often Should Brakes Be Checked?

We recommend having your brakes inspected at every service or at least annually. Brake pad life varies significantly based on driving style, vehicle type, and road conditions.

Average Pad Life

Front pads: 25,000-40,000 miles
Rear pads: 40,000-70,000 miles

Disc Replacement

Typically every 2-3 pad changes, depending on wear patterns and minimum thickness specifications.

Fluid Change

Every 2 years regardless of mileage to prevent moisture contamination and maintain boiling point.
