How Often Should You Get My Brakes Checked?
How Does Your Driving Style Impact Your Brakes?
Your driving style is likely dictated by two factors: current weather conditions and where you do most of your driving. For instance, in Yorkton we’re accustomed to frequent use of our brakes depending on traffic, and if you like to drive around the mountains, then you’re probably used to leaning on your brakes for steep declines as well. These kinds of habits put a lot of strain on your brakes, and are only exacerbated in the winter months when road surfaces become slippery. If this is all sounding familiar to you, then you may need to book your vehicle in for brake servicing more often than other drivers who don’t face these circumstances.
5 Top Signs Your Brakes Need to Be Replaced
Though we advise you to get your brakes checked at least once a year or every 6,000 miles, this isn’t a hard and fast rule–there may be other signs that indicate you should book a service appointment sooner, such as:
- Your brakes aren’t as responsive, or feel soft or spongy.
- You feel a vibration when trying to apply the brakes.
- The orientation of your brake pedal has changed, such as feeling lower than normal.
- Your brakes are making unusual noises, such as grinding or squealing.
- Applying the brakes causes your vehicle to pull to one side.
If you notice any of these warning signs, then your preferred Key Auto Group location is only a click or a call away.
