Auto Brake Maintenance Tips
Brake Service Available at Principle Hyundai Boerne: The Importance of Vehicle Brake Maintenance
Routine maintenance is important to keep your vehicle in optimal shape. This maintenance extends well beyond fluid changes and tire rotations. One often overlooked item on your routine maintenance checklist might be your brakes. Brakes are typically overlooked until they start making noise or have a reduction in performance. Having your brakes serviced regularly is one of the most important things you should do for your vehicle. This will prevent premature failure, improve drivability, and keep you safe. Our dealership in Boerne, TX can handle all of your brake maintenance needs.
When to Replace Your Brakes
Outside of experiencing brake problems or issues found during servicing, your brakes components should be replaced based on your specific vehicle maintenance schedule. You can expect your brake pads to last about 25,000 miles. This will vary based on your driving style, quality of the brake components, and whether you primarily drive in the city or on the highway. Your pads will last longer on the highway due to less stop and go driving. Brake rotors and drums that are properly maintained can last 60,000 miles or more.

The best way to extend the life of your brakes is to keep them maintained regularly, which you can do at our Hyundai service center. The following items will also help your brakes last longer:
- Avoid braking at high speeds
- Avoid sudden stops
- Drive with only one foot
- Travel with lighter loads
