How To Avoid Getting Ripped-off On Brakes
Many so called cheap brake shops end up selling parts or services that you don’t need. Have brakes inspected and measured
- Every time you rotate and balance tires (every 6000 miles)
- By ASE Certified tech
- Be sure to keep record of dates and measurements
Find a good shop, which will teach you about brakes before you need them, and who will answer your questions. It is also important to flush your brake system regularly:
- ABS – annually
- Non-ABS – every 2 years
- When cloudy or contaminated (brake fluid absorbs water from atmosphere)
I also recommend always installing premium parts…there only two things you always want your car to do: Go and Stop. Generic isn’t always the best value.
