How Often Do My Brakes Need To Be Serviced?
There are a lot of factors that go into how often you’ll need your brakes serviced, including your specific vehicle, the kind of climate that you drive in, and your individual driving pattern – for example, how often you drive or how hard you brake. As a rule of thumb, brake fluid can last 2-5 years and your brake pads or shoes may last anywhere from 20,000 to 80,000 miles. Although your owner’s manual will have a recommended brake maintenance schedule, we can help you determine the best schedule for you and your car.

If you have questions about your brake repair in Midlothian or The West End, please feel free to ask. In general, when your brakes need attention, it will involve one of the following services:
Tips For Keeping Your Breaks Healthy
The simplest way to keep your brakes healthy is to stick to a maintenance schedule. Start by making sure you check your brake fluid, which is a clear hydraulic liquid that’s used in your brake system. If you look under the hood and notice that your brake fluid is a darker color, that’s a sign that it needs to be changed. Not quite sure where to go from there? We’re happy to help. Visit us at Aarrow Transmission for brake fluid flushing services that will keep your car at peak performance.
