Brake Service near Westerville OH

While you need to change your engine oil at regular intervals, your brake system is more variable. Although healthy brakes are crucial for safe driving, they are designed to last many miles before needing a replacement of any kind.

However, there will come a time that your brakes will need some extra attention from a mechanic. Depending on your vehicle manufacturer, this could be at 10,000 miles or 50,000 miles. Your driving habits, as well as road conditions, can also impact how soon you will need a brake service.

If you want an exact interval for when to schedule a brake service, it’s best to consult your vehicle owner’s manual. Keep in mind, though, that not all manufacturers provide service intervals for brake services. Instead, they might rely on the professional evaluations of mechanics who inspect your brakes during routine services.

Even if your owner’s manual doesn’t provide you with the exact mileage for when you need a brake service, you can still determine when you should bring your vehicle in for a brake inspection.

Your sedan, truck, or SUV will display certain signs when your brakes need a service. You will notice one or more of the following:

• Chirping, grinding, or squealing noises
• Your brakes feel spongy
• You need to press your brakes all the way down to get a response
• It’s taking longer to brake
• Shaking or vibrating when braking

Low brake fluid or evidence of a leak around your brakes will also warrant a trip to a mechanic to get your brakes checked out.
