Routine Brake Maintenance: How Often and Why?
The frequency of brake maintenance can vary based on factors like driving habits and conditions, but a good rule of thumb is to plan for brake maintenance every 18,000 to 20,000 miles. Additionally, we recommend having a brake inspection at least once every six months. This proactive approach helps you stay ahead of any maintenance needs.
At Kingdom Autocare, we include brake inspections as part of our multi-point inspections, performed with every oil change and many other routine services. This ensures you’re always informed about the status of your vehicle’s brakes.
