If your dashboard displays a brake warning light, it’s time for an inspection.
Vibrations or Pulsing When Braking
Warped rotors can cause vibrations or a pulsing sensation when you press the brake pedal.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The lifespan of brake pads depends on your driving habits and the type of vehicle you drive. Most brake pads last between 25,000 and 50,000 miles. However, if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, you may need to replace them more often.
Ignoring worn brake pads can lead to damage to your rotors and calipers, which will require more expensive repairs. Worn pads can also result in reduced stopping power, creating a safety hazard.
Brake fluid should be replaced every 2-3 years or as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer. Signs of old or contaminated fluid include a soft or spongy brake pedal and reduced braking performance.
Resurfacing involves smoothing the rotor’s surface to eliminate minor damage or warping. Replacement is necessary when rotors are worn beyond their minimum thickness or have severe damage.
