How often should you replace your brake pads?
For most vehicles, brake pads should be checked every 10,000–15,000 miles or annually—and replaced between 25,000 and 70,000 miles—depending on driving habits and pad type.
How Often Should You Replace Your Rotors?
Every 20,000 - 70,000 miles!
Rotors usually last about twice as long as pads, but resurfacing or replacing them with pads ensures optimal performance and prevents excessive wear.
How Often Should You Replace Your Brake Calipers & Get Your Brake Fluid Flushed?
Most calipers last the lifetime of the vehicle, often 10–20 years or over 100,000 miles, with proper brake fluid maintenance. Your brake fluid should be flushed every 2 years or 30,000 miles! Most manufacturers and service professionals recommend this interval to maintain fluid integrity and system performance.
