It’s Brake Safety Awareness Month, and our dealership is reminding drivers to keep up with essential Lexus service. You should ensure your Lexus brakes work correctly to prevent a disastrous malfunction. To help protect you from brake issues, Keyes Lexus recommends these brake safety tips.
Essential Brake Services
First, knowing what brake services are required for your vehicle is essential. These services keep your brakes in good condition and are critical for identifying faulty parts. Essential Lexus service tasks for brakes include:
- Brake pads. You should check your brake pads every 10,000 miles for excessive wear and tear. If a brake pad is starting to fade, it should be replaced.
- Brake fluid flushing. Every 25,000 miles, we recommend flushing out your brake fluid and replacing it. This will keep your braking system running efficiently.
- Brake lines. Your brake lines connect the braking system with the wheels, enabling the vehicle to stop. Checking brake lines for adequate pressure delivery is an essential Lexus service task.
Are My Brakes Working?
If you notice any issues with your braking system, they should be addressed immediately. If your brakes require more pressure to stop or stop your vehicle slower than usual, you should bring them in for service.
You’ll also want to watch for strange noises or scents when the vehicle brakes. These indicate a malfunctioning part. And, of course, if your brake warning light comes on, bring your vehicle to our service team immediately.
