There are many times when a driver’s vehicle is telling them that their brake system needs service, but they simply don't recognize the symptoms. Here are a few vital signs to look out for that suggest it's time for brake service:
Some drivers need clarification on how often they should have their brake system maintained. For the most exact intervals of your vehicle's brake system needs, we recommend referring to your owner's manual. However, here are the general service intervals for various components of your brake system:
When you depress your brake pedal with your foot, your master cylinder sends hydraulic fluid through your brake lines into your brake calipers. These brake calipers have pistons that compress and force your brake pads to clamp down onto a spinning disc-shaped rotor that spins with your drive axle. Your brake pads are made of a high-friction material that helps to bring you to a stop; however, over time, these pads and rotors will wear down and need to be replaced. In addition, the fluid that forces your brake pads to clamp down onto the rotor requires routine flushes to perform as expected.
Nothing is worse than struggling to stop as you quickly draw closer to a vehicle or pedestrian in your path.

Schedule A Brake Repair Service
Your brakes have a few ways of telling you that it's time for a brake pad replacement:
On average, your brake pads will last 25,000-65,000 miles. However, the frequency at which your particular vehicle will need brake pad replacement will depend largely on your own driving habits.
Drivers who spend a lot of time driving in the city, where they experience large amounts of stop-and-go traffic, will notice that their brake pads need to be replaced more frequently than nonurban drivers. Drivers who normally operate their vehicles on the highway and do not experience large amounts of traffic will notice that they may not need brake pad replacement as often. However, there are additional components of your brake system that may need to be serviced:
Failing to replace your brake pads once they have worn thin not only increases your chances of needing brake repair services but also increases the cost of your next visit to the mechanic. Brake pad replacement is a service that costs far less than brake repair services, which is why we recommend replacing your brake pads on time.
Continuing to drive with thin brake pads would result in the pads eventually wearing down to the point where your calipers are driven into your rotors when you hit the brakes. This would cause significant damage to your brake rotors and may require your brake calipers to be replaced. In addition, you would also need to replace your worn brake pads. This culmination of services would cost significantly more than it would have originally cost to simply replace your brake pads on time.
There's also the matter of safety; vehicles with worn-down brake pads do not feature the same stopping power as they did when they had new brake pads. Because of this, replacing your brake pads on time could mean the difference between a near miss in an emergency situation and a collision.
Bruce's Tire & Auto provides exceptional brake service in Fremont. We provide brake services on all makes and models of vehicles, and we use high-quality parts to ensure that your vehicle retains the stopping power that it was designed to have.
With an appointment, a brake pad replacement typically takes less than two hours. Because we are a full-service brake shop in Fremont, we carry parts to fit vehicles of varying needs. However, some vehicles have specialized pads and rotors that require a special order. Having an appointment ensures we have the necessary parts available and reduces the time that it will take to replace your vehicle's brake pads.
Because our service center can get quite busy, stopping by for brake service without an appointment would mean that we would have to squeeze you in. This could add a significant amount of time to your service experience. For the most expedited service, we encourage you to schedule an appointment beforehand.
