Proper brake inspections and maintenance should be a top priority in the maintenance of your vehicle. Annual inspections on your entire braking system can help you avoid costly brake repairs by reducing the chances of additional parts wear and damage caused by worn-out pads, shoes, etc.
More importantly, failing to inspect and maintain your brake system could be compromising the safety of your vehicle’s passengers as well as others on the road. Check out our blog to learn more about braking systems, common failures, and symptoms of braking systems that need attention.
