It is imperative that you keep your brakes in good condition. You never know when you might unexpectedly hit traffic and have to make a sudden stop, or when a kid might run out in the middle of the street without seeing you coming. Having them go out could cause a serious accident. Our professional opinion is that a brake service should be conducted at least once a year, especially if you commute often and take long road trips.

We also recommend you visit a brake shop if there is a low or spongy brake pedal, hard brake pedal, the check engine light stays on, or you continuously hear squealing or grinding sounds when pressing it.
