The Importance of Brake Inspections

The brake system is one of the most important safety mechanisms in your vehicle. When you press your brake pedal, a complex system goes into motion to help keep you and your passengers safe. It is necessary to have it inspected regularly – a minimum of every six months or roughly every 20,000-60,000 miles – to ensure proper performance. Our comprehensive brake inspection includes:

  • Checking for even wear and measuring brake pad/shoe thickness
  • Ensuring brake lines and master and wheel cylinders aren’t leaking
  • Checking rotors for hot spots and run-outs
  • Inspecting calipers for wear, fluid leaks, and movement
  • Checking anti-lock brake sensors
  • Testing hardware and making necessary adjustments
  • Checking brake fluid condition and levels

Brake Wear Indicator

Brake pads are purposely designed to make loud noises when the pads’ effectiveness is near their end. In addition to hearing loud noises, other common signs that your brake system needs to be serviced soon include:

  • Brakes feel spongy or hard to press down
  • Squealing or grinding noises
  • Your car pulls to one side
  • Your steering wheel or brake pedal shakes when applying the brake
  • Your Anti‐Lock Brake System (ABS) warning lights come on

Brake Service FAQs

What causes brakes to wear down?

The list below shows drivers who would benefit from having their brakes checked closer to the 20,000 mile mark. The less stress you put on your brakes, the longer you can go without a brake service.

  • Driving on hills with lots of sharp turns.
  • Urban stop-and-go driving (versus highway miles).
  • Using inexpensive/unreliable brake pads and other brake system components.
  • Driving in mountainous country, where downhill braking is necessary, may also add wear and tear to the brake pads.
How often do brakes need to be replaced?

Measurement of brakes is recommended at each regular scheduled service interval. Your brakes should be replaced when the thickness of the brake pad is measured at 3 millimeters or less.

  • Squealing or grinding noises
  • Your car pulls to one side
  • Your steering wheel or brake pedal shakes when applying the brake

Why are my brakes squealing?

When you wear down your brakes enough, there are small, metal hairs at the bottom, which make loud noises. When the squealing begins, your brakes are nearly out of gripping material and need to be changed.

Why does my Toyota need brake fluid?

Brake fluid is essential to help transfer the movement and force created when you press down on the brake pedal.

What maintenance do my brakes need?

Routine brake maintenance includes checking your brake pads and rotors, flushing your brake fluid, bleeding your brake lines, replacing or updating older worn brake parts.
