- WHEN TO REPLACE BRAKES AND FLUIDS
Your brakes can last from 25,000 up to 60,000 miles depending on different driving patterns. Front brake pads tend to wear more than the rear as they handle higher braking load especially on front wheel drive cars. It is recommended that the brake disc also be change with the brake pads as they tend to squeak when only brake pads are fitted in most cases.
It is also recommended that the brake fluid be replaced every 2 years to maintain its efficiency.
