Car maintenance keeps your car in good shape, which will help you remain safe on the road, and brake maintenance is one of the important aspects. 

This involves examining the brakes for pad wear and blocked brake lines and checking fluid levels.

It is recommended that your brakes be inspected annually or every 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Another indication that your brakes need to be repaired is if you notice they are squeaking or grinding, or if you feel your brake pedal needs to be pushed down further than usual.

Lithia Auto Stores offer car maintenance services, which include brake inspection. They will communicate any issues they find and are able to perform repairs on-site. They are also willing to give you an estimate before starting on any repairs.
