How Often Should My Brakes Be Checked?
Brakes should be checked at regular intervals, in order to ensure that they are functioning correctly. Check them every 50,000 kms or every year, whichever comes first. The best time of the year to get them checked is in the fall before the onset of winter. Winter can be especially hazardous in Southern Ontario, due to the freezing rain, slush and snow, so you want to make sure your brakes are in good working order.
How Long Will It Take to Get Them Checked?
A brake check does not take long. If the brakes need maintenance or replacing, the process will only take a few hours.
