Frequently Asked Questions
1. How often do I need to change my brake fluid
This is dependent on the make and model of your vehicle; refer to your manufacturer’s scheduled maintenance guide for best practices for your vehicle. A general rule of thumb is replacing brake fluid whenever your brake pads are replaced.
2. How do I know when I need new brakes?
You may need new brake pads, rotors, or new brake fluid when you notice any different sound or slower pedal response when you brake. Worn brake pads can squeak – and the situation will worsen until you hear the grinding sound of unprotected rotors.
3. My car shakes when I hit the brakes. What’s going on?
The most common answer is that brake rotors are out of bound, in which case you’d also be able to feel it through the brake pedal. The vibration can also occur when a brake caliper sticks on, in which case the steering wheel will vibrate as well.
