Your brakes are a system of components that need to be maintained regularly. So, when you take your brakes to be serviced, what exactly is your technician doing? Here are a few brake services you can expect at your next appointment.
Your brake pads and shoes may be replaced. Both of these parts should be done at an estimated mile range. Your brakes may also require a rotor polishing, or the rotors will be replaced. This will be done at the same time as your brake pad replacement. If necessary, your brake caliper or caliper pins will be replaced. At the mile estimation for the brake calipers and caliper pins, you'll also need to have your brake fluid flushed.
As you can see, there are several services that are necessary to keep your brakes running smoothly. Your brakes should be replaced or serviced based on the performance of the brakes, which means that each car is different. Consider your driving style, the miles you put on your car and the make and model of your vehicle when making your next brake service appointment.
