How To Tell If You Need New Brakes
Fortunately, it’s easy to tell when your vehicle needs new brakes. Our service team knows the ins and outs of Acura vehicles, and can diagnose any brake problems quickly and accurately when you bring your car in for routine car maintenance. Be sure to schedule brake service right away if you notice any of the following red flags during braking:
- Squealing or grinding noises
- Strange smells
- “Pulling” to the left or right
- Jutting forward
- Vibration in the steering wheel
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
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 like Freehold, you may be able to change your brake pads every 75,000 miles—at the most. However, if you live in the middle of Red Bank with plenty of stop-and-go traffic, your vehicle may need new brakes every 25,000 miles. That’s where the service team at Acura of Ocean comes in!
