Brake Inspection & Safety Check

Your Safety Starts with Your Brakes

Brakes are the most critical safety system in your vehicle. A thorough inspection can identify problems before they become dangerous—or expensive.

Warning Signs You Need a Brake Inspection

• Squealing or squeaking – Wear indicators are touching the rotor
• Grinding noise – Pads are worn down to metal
• Vibration when braking – Warped rotors or uneven pad wear
• Soft or spongy pedal – Air in the brake lines or fluid leak
• Pulling to one side – Uneven brake wear or stuck caliper
• Warning light – Brake system or ABS light illuminated

What We Inspect

Brake Pads & Shoes

We measure thickness and check for even wear patterns. Most pads should be replaced when they reach 3-4mm.

Rotors & Drums

We check for scoring, warping, and minimum thickness. Damaged rotors reduce braking efficiency and can be dangerous.

Brake Fluid

We test fluid condition and level. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing its boiling point and effectiveness.

Calipers & Hardware

We inspect for leaks, proper movement, and corrosion that could affect performance.

Lines & Hoses

We check for cracks, leaks, and deterioration that could cause brake failure.

Brake Maintenance Schedule

Component	Inspection	Replacement
Brake pads	Every 12,000 miles	25,000–70,000 miles
Brake fluid	Annually	Every 2 years
Rotors	With pad changes	As needed
