When it comes to safety, brakes are always going to be a top priority. Here at Land Rover Baton Rouge, we know how crucial it is to stay on top of routine automotive maintenance services and repairs. That way, your vehicle can continue being your on-road partner all around the Baton Rouge, Gonzales, and Lafayette, Louisiana, areas.
There are a few different ways to tell if it's time to bring your vehicle by the shop for brake repairs:
Any of these signs point out to a problem in your brakes.
For the typical driver, your brakes are going to need to be replaced about every 50,000 to 60,000 miles, which evens out to about every five to six years. If you drive through harsh conditions or have long daily commutes, your brakes will need to be replaced sooner.
Be sure to check your owner's manual to see what's recommended for your specific vehicle.
You can check your brakes by paying attention to how your vehicle responds when stopping. Listen for squealing, grinding, or clicking noises, and notice if the pedal feels soft, firm, or vibrates. Look for dashboard warning lights and watch for longer stopping distances. You can also inspect brake pads through the wheel for visible wear. If anything seems unusual, schedule a professional brake inspection for an accurate evaluation.
Squealing or grinding noises can indicate worn brake pads that need attention.
A brake warning light often signals low fluid or worn brake components.
Squeaky brakes are usually caused by worn brake pads or buildup on the rotors.
Grinding typically means brake pads are fully worn and may be damaging the rotors.
Shaking during braking can point to warped rotors or uneven brake wear.
Delaying brake service can reduce stopping power and lead to more expensive repairs later.*
