Driving is a privilege to be taken seriously, which means you have to be responsible for your brake maintenance. At BOB TEDFORD CHEVROLET CO., we want you to be safe when you're on the road. In order to be safe, its crucial to keep your cars brakes in top condition, but knowing when to replace your brakes can be challenging.
You don't want to wait until you hear your brakes grinding to have them changed. A delay that long could lead to an accident or further damage to your brake rotors and other brake system components. Brakes should be changed every 25,000 or 50,000 miles depending on the quality of brake pads, the amount of pressure you regularly apply to the brake, the type of materials the rotors and brakes are composed of, and if you do a lot of stop-and-go driving. If you're ever unsure of your brakes condition, have them inspected by a professional.
