When to Service Your Brakes

The best way to catch developing issues and avoid more serious repairs is by scheduling a brake inspection every six months. Our team can provide a quick brake inspection while changing your oil to determine its condition and help you get a timeline for future repairs and replacements.

Most brake components last relatively long. You will need to replace your brake pads after 10,000 to 20,000 miles, your brake rotors between 50,000 and 70,000 miles, and your brake calipers around 75,000 to 100,000 miles. However, Fort Dodge drivers may need brake service and replacements more often, depending on driving habits and conditions. Hard braking, towing, and driving in heavy traffic can require you to get brake maintenance more often.

Signs Your Vehicle Needs Brake Service

  • A longer pedal travel distance
  • Longer stopping distances
  • Scraping or squealing noises when braking
  • Burning smells when braking
  • A brake service notification in your dashboard

Why Service Your Brakes?

Your vehicle's brakes are a vital part of your vehicle's performance and safety. Brakes that aren't working properly will have longer stopping distances and less control at higher speeds, which can put you at risk when driving around Boone, IA. Properly working brakes can make all the difference in avoiding or reducing the severity of a collision.
