1. When you hear grinding noises, it’s too late

Many drivers never give a single thought to their brakes until they start to hear a grinding noise or struggle to stop at a light. This is bad. The grinding noise means your brake components are now making contact with the rotors, metal to metal. This damages the system and drives up the price of brake repairs.

2. Don’t forget about brake fluid

Every 30,000 miles, you should flush and replace the brake fluid. This comes as a surprise to many drivers in Texas who don’t know brake fluid exists. Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid that moves parts of the brake system. It has to work under extreme pressure and heat. Replacing it ensures your brakes move efficiently to quickly stop your vehicle.

3. Be proactive, be safe

Just because your brakes aren’t making any weird noises right now, it doesn’t mean your brake pads aren’t wearing thin. There are many other components like calipers, rotors and brake shoes that need maintenance. The rate at which these parts wear varies by car and depending on how the driver handles the car.
