BRAKES

It's a good idea to check your car's brakes regularly to ensure they're functioning properly. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Every 6 months or 6,000 miles: Inspect brake pads and rotors for wear.

2. When you hear unusual noises: Squeaking, grinding, or pulsating could indicate issues.

3. If you feel vibrations: If the brake pedal vibrates when you apply the brakes, it could signal a problem.

4. Check brake fluid levels: Regularly ensure that your brake fluid is at the proper level and is clean.

5. If you notice a change in braking performance: A longer stopping distance or softer brake pedal feel should be investigated.

If you're ever unsure, it's best to consult a mechanic. Regular maintenance can help prevent more serious issues down the road!
