Frequently Asked Questions About Brake Repairs

How often should I have my brakes inspected?

We recommend having your brakes inspected during every oil change (typically every 5,000-7,500 miles) and any time you notice changes in braking performance.

What are common signs that my brakes need service?

Watch for warning signs including squealing or grinding noises, vibration when braking, a soft brake pedal, longer stopping distances, or an illuminated brake warning light on your dashboard.

How long do brake pads typically last?

Brake pad lifespan varies widely depending on driving habits, conditions, and vehicle type. Most quality brake pads last between 30,000-70,000 miles, but Maine's winter conditions and road salt may reduce this timeframe.

Can I continue driving if my brakes are making noise?

While you might be able to drive temporarily with noisy brakes, this indicates wear that should be addressed promptly. Continuing to drive with severely worn brakes can damage rotors and other components, leading to more extensive repairs.

Will my vehicle need brake fluid replacement?

Yes, brake fluid absorbs moisture over time and should be replaced approximately every 2-3 years to maintain proper braking performance and prevent system corrosion.

Do all four brakes typically wear at the same rate?

No, front brakes generally wear faster than rear brakes because they handle more of the stopping power. However, all brakes should be inspected regularly regardless of position.

How long does a typical brake service take?

Most standard brake services can be completed within 1-3 hours, depending on the extent of repairs needed. Our service advisors can provide a more accurate time estimate based on your specific vehicle needs.
