The Importance of Brakes

It may seem obvious, but brakes play a critical role in the overall safety of your driving experience. We point that out because it's easy to take your vehicle's brakes for granted. After all, when you're busy running errands, cruising down the highway on a road trip, or cued up in the carpool line, you're not thinking about the condition of your brakes. You hit the brake pedal, and you expect your car to stop: it makes sense.

Unfortunately, not properly maintaining your brakes can lead to bigger problems down the line and also creates some potentially serious safety issues. Braking systems in today's newer vehicles are complex and reliant on an intelligent series of parts and systems. When one thing goes wrong, the whole braking system can get out of whack.

Also, many cars, trucks, and SUVs are equipped with driver-assist systems that offer automatic emergency braking during potential collision situations. Without well-maintained brakes, these systems may not work as effectively, creating the potential for catastrophe. Stopping power is critical. Stopping power doesn't happen, though, if your brakes aren't in good working order. To take advantage of all your vehicle's braking capability, be sure to keep an eye on the odometer and check your vehicle's owner's manual to determine how often a brake inspection is necessary. Optimal brake system condition means better overall vehicle performance and optimal occupant safety.

Signs You Need New Brakes

How do you know when it's time for new brakes? There are several signs that are easy to spot (and hear) because brake trouble starts with worn-out brake pads. When your brake pads are worn, you may start hearing squeaking or grinding noises when you apply the brakes. You may also feel a less even sensation upon braking. Your driving style and environment will dictate how frequently you need brakes. If you live in a congested urban environment that requires several starts and stops to navigate, you're probably using your brakes more than a daily highway commuter. On average, typical brake pads last around 25,000 miles, but again your driving style and area will cause that mileage to fluctuate.

Stay alert for subtle changes in your vehicle's handling and behavior during the braking process. For example, you might notice some pulling to one side. This can be a sign of an alignment issue or a problem with tire pressure, but it can also be an indication that your brake pads are worn. Does your vehicle shimmy or vibrate when you apply the brakes? This is another indication that it's time for an inspection and possibly replacement. Remember, waiting too long or ignoring early signs increases the risk that your vehicle's rotors will endure extra wear. Replacing the brake pads and rotors is more costly, so catching those braking issues early can help you save money.
