Quick Tips for a Healthy Braking System 

If you have the habit of resting your foot against the brake pedal during times when you’re not actively trying to slow down, then you’ll want to be careful that you’re not pressing down whatsoever. If you’re inadvertently engaging your brakes---even slightly---this can cause unnecessary wear and tear on your brakes. When it does come time to slow down, it’s best if you’ve given yourself enough following distance that you can begin decelerating by just easing up on the gas rather than hitting the brakes. Then as you need to slow down faster you’ll want to engage your brakes as gently as safely possible. 

You’ll also be able to reduce wear and tear on your brakes by simply following the speed limit. When you drive at an excessive speed, there’s a greater likelihood that you’ll end up slamming on your brakes, which causes braking system parts to degrade. 

At our local Euro auto shop, we can expertly address brake maintenance tasks that will keep your brakes in peak form. Brake pads usually need to be replaced at some point between 30,000 and 50,000 miles. How long your brake pads last is largely determined by how hard/gentle you are when braking your car on a daily basis. Brake fluid generally needs to be changed every four or five years. The right amount of clean brake fluid will help to ensure that your brakes function optimally.
