What Factors Affect Brake Health?

The brake system is your vehicle’s most important safety feature; keeping your brakes in good shape could mean the difference between avoiding an accident and footing a hefty bill for post-collision repairs. How often you should change your vehicle’s brakes depends on a few factors:

• Your driving habits
• Environment
• Your vehicle’s performance profile
• Brake pad quality and materials

Of course, your vehicle’s brakes will only work properly if your brake fluid levels are right where they should be. When in doubt, consult your owner’s manual, or speak with one of our certified technicians!

How Often Should You Expect to Replace Your Brakes

Typically, brake pad replacement is needed every 50,000 miles. If you don’t drive much and live in a sleepy area, you may be able to change your brake pads every 75,000 miles—at the most. However, if you live in the middle of with plenty of stop-and-go traffic, your vehicle may need new brakes every 25,000 miles. That’s where the service team at Triple J Saipan comes in!
