Brake System Maintenance Tips
Proper brake maintenance is essential to keep your vehicle running smoothly and to extend its lifespan.
- Visual Break Inspection
Regularly inspect the brake pads through the wheel spokes to check for wear. If the pad is less than 1/4 inch thick, it’s time to replace them.
- Check Brake Fluid Level
Locate the brake fluid reservoir under the hood and ensure the fluid level is between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks. If the fluid is low, top it up with the correct type of brake fluid as specified in your vehicle’s manual.
- Test Brake Performance
While driving, test the brakes to ensure they are responsive and the car stops smoothly without pulling to one side.
- Listen for Unusual Noises
Pay attention to any unusual sounds when braking, such as squeaking or grinding, which can indicate worn brake pads or other issues.
