The Importance of Routine Brake Maintenance
The brakes play a key role in the safety and longevity of your vehicle. This intricate system requires diligent care to continue functioning efficiently. The brakes typically have an inspection every 7,500 miles, which aligns with routine oil changes.
Brake pads and rotors can have a lifespan of 30,000 to 70,000 miles. The exact lifespan can vary depending on road conditions, driving habits, and the specific model you drive.
