Tips for Keeping Your Brakes in Great Shape

A simple way to help keep your brakes healthy is to consistently drive within the speed limit. If you're driving over the speed limit, it's more likely that you'll end up hitting your brakes hard because you have less reaction time when hazards suddenly arise. Slamming on your brakes causes braking system parts to wear down faster.

It's also best if you avoid resting your foot against the brake pedal when you're not actually trying to slow down or stop. While you might think your foot is just resting against the pedal, there's a decent chance that you'll unwittingly cause your brakes to become slightly engaged. This causes unnecessary wear and tear on braking system components. When it is time to slow down, it's ideal if you can start decelerating by just easing up on the gas rather than actually hitting the brakes. As you need to slow down at a faster pace, it's best to brake as gently as you safely can. Of course, it'll be easier to brake softly if you keep a safe following distance.

At our local auto shop, we can conduct important brake maintenance tasks. Generally, pads need to be replaced at some point between 30,000 and 50,000 miles, depending on how gentle you are on your brakes. And brake fluid should be exchanged about every four years. To keep your brake working safely, it's very important that you're driving with the right amount of clean fluid.
