Breaks can generally go between 25,000 – 50,000 miles before needing to be replaced. If you’ve made a habit of braking abruptly, or you brake more frequently because of city or highway traffic, you’ll likely need your brakes replaced sooner rather than later. Smooth, gradual braking will help prolong the life of your brakes; this is especially important for new brakes. It’s a good idea to have your mechanic inspect you vehicle’s brake pads during your oil change and tire rotation appointments.

There are several components, big and small, that make up your vehicle’s braking system. Most often, the brake pads, rotors, or brake lines are the first components to deteriorate from wear and tear or old age. Brake fluid is also important and should be changed at least every 2 years. Having your vehicle regularly inspected will help you catch bad parts before they cause additional problems or safety issues.
