How Often Should I Have My Car’s Brakes Checked?

It is not an exact science. Some say every 25,000 miles while others claim that you could go as many as 75,000 miles. That is quite a discrepancy! Since there is no precise time or mileage that one can say you should have your brakes inspected, the wear on your brake pads and rotors will depend on a handful of factors.

Some of them are –

 

1.  A professional should investigate the thickness of your brake pads.

2.  Listen for that dreaded high-pitched squeal.

3.  Is your car pulling to one side?

4.  If the rotors are warped, vibrations may occur.
