BRAKES

Having good brakes on your car are critical to the continued safety of driver, passengers and for others on the road.  It can literally mean the difference between life and death.  

The average car will require new brakes at least a couple of times over the course of its lifetime.  However, everyone has their own driving style and some may need brakes more than others.  The determination of new brakes should ideally be addressed after certain amounts of mileage have been reached. Depending on different variables, you may be in the market for your first new set after a mere 20,000 miles or you may be able to wait until closer to 50,000 or 70,000.  The best rule of thumb is to keep your eyes and ears open for the following warning signs.

1. Noisy or squeaking brakes
2. Low responsiveness
3. Pulling Bouncing or Vibrating
4. Visual cue of worn brakes
