Today we’re chatting a little bit about some winter weather car care tips. One of the most important parts of your vehicle is the brakes!
It’s imperative during inclement weather that you’re able to stop on a dime, and in conjunction with all-season or winter tires, you’ll need to make sure your vehicle has a tip-top shape brake system. We’ll be “braking” it down (see what we did there?) into easy to digest sections such as different terms for parts in the vehicle’s brakes, as well as signs to look out for that the brakes need a checkup. On most vehicles, you’ll need a regular brake service between 25,000 to 65,000 during which your mechanic will replace the brake pads; rotors will need replacing 30,000 to 70,000 miles. These numbers may vary depending on driving style, road and terrain conditions, and weather.
