When Should I Get My Brakes Repaired?

A pair of brakes should last a driver around 40,000 miles. There are some manufactures who claim their braking systems lasts longer, around the 70,000-mile mark.

However, it’s good to note that every car is different. Depending on factors like the condition you bought the car—new, used, or certified pre-owned—and how often you regularly use the brakes, they may need to be serviced earlier or later than expected.

As a precaution, it’s good to check your owner’s manual to get a more detailed timeline of when to bring it in for brake service.

Of course, there are other more obvious symptoms that your brakes are in need of repair.

Symptoms of Brake Damage

Besides how many miles you’ve driven, there are several other giveaways that you are experiencing weakening brakes. Here are just some signs you should look out for during your next drive:

• Brake Light: Your car usually notifies you on its own using an illuminating symbol displayed on your dashboard—most cars have brake warnings shaped as a yellow or red circle with an exclamation point in its center
• Squealing Noises: A damaged pair of brakes usually give off an audible cue like squeaking when you apply pressure, so make sure to listen for sounds next time you come to a stop
• Vibrations: At some point while driving, your steering wheel and/or dashboard vibrates—this may mean the damaged brakes are affecting the rotor
• You Smell Oil/Burning Oil: The strong smell of oil in or around your car is not only hard to miss, but also definitely a sign your brakes need some attention
