Prolong the Life of Your Brakes

posted on 5/19/2022 10:55:30 AM

Your vehicle has several safety components, but your brakes are definitely one of the most important. The average car will require new brakes at least a couple of times throughout its lifetime. The braking system comprises brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid. All these components work together to power your brakes and bring your vehicle to a stop. These components will wear out eventually, but it is possible to extend this lifespan by adapting your driving style to reduce the strain on your brakes.

Our auto repair experts at Buckhead Tire & Auto Repair in Atlanta, GA, offer expert brake service. Early detection is the key to maintaining your brakes’ performance. Regular brake check-up gives you the best chance to spot issues that can help protect you from dealing with more costly repairs.

How to Prolong the Life of Your Brakes

Don’t Brake at High Speeds

Braking suddenly at high speed puts tremendous wear on the brakes and causes them to fail. Regulating your speed and applying gentle pressure to the brakes when stopping will ease the strain on your brakes.

Keep Your Discs Clean

Rust can wear out your braking system prematurely. Keep the discs and rotors clean by taking your vehicle for regularly scheduled brake service. Brake inspection should be done every time you get tire rotation service.

Change Your Brake Fluid

Change your brake fluid based on your manufacturer’s recommendations for your vehicle. This is usually done once every four years.

Braking Technique

It is best to come to a complete stop when slowing down instead of allowing the car to creep forward. Engaging the brakes for too long cause constant friction and wear your brakes out more quickly. Never drive with your park brakes on or while accelerating and braking simultaneously. Not only will it wear your brakes out, but also your tires.
