There are several signs that your car brakes need replacement. Some of the most common include:
This is a classic sign that your brake pads are wearing thin and need to be replaced.
This can be caused by warped rotors or unevenly worn pads.
If it takes longer than usual to stop your car, it’s a sign that your brakes are not working as effectively as they should.
This can indicate that there is air in the brake lines or a leak in the hydraulic system.
This light is usually triggered by a low brake fluid level, or some manufacturers such as BMW and Mercedes will have wear indicators within the pads. A Brake warning can also indicate other problems with the brake system.
The frequency of brake replacement depends on several factors, including your driving habits, the type of car you drive, and the environment you drive in. However, as a general rule, most car brakes need to be replaced every 25,000 to 50,000 miles. It’s important to consult your vehicles owner’s manual for specific recommendations.
There are two main types of car brakes: disc brakes and drum brakes. Disc brakes are more common on newer cars and are generally considered to be more effective than drum brakes. Drum brakes are still used on some older cars and are less expensive to replace than disc brakes.

Brake fluid plays a crucial role in your car’s braking system, transmitting pressure from the brake pedal to the wheels for safe and controlled stopping. However, brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, leading to decreased boiling point and potential brake failure.
Therefore, regular brake fluid replacement is vital for maintaining optimal braking performance and safety.
