Don’t Wait for the Squeal — Get Your Brakes Checked Before It’s Too Late

Express Lube & Smog: Break System Service

Your vehicle’s braking system is your most critical safety feature. Our comprehensive brake inspection includes checking brake pads, rotors, calipers, and hydraulic components to ensure everything functions as it should.

Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture, which can lead to corrosion, reduced stopping power, and even brake failure. That’s why we often recommend a brake fluid change during your inspection — to restore proper pressure, prevent internal damage, and keep your brakes performing at their best.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my brakes inspected?

It’s recommended to have your brakes inspected at least once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, if you notice squeaking, grinding, or longer stopping distances, schedule an inspection right away.

What does a brake inspection include?

A standard brake inspection covers pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, and brake fluid condition. Our technicians measure wear, check for leaks, and ensure every part of your braking system is functioning safely.

Why is changing brake fluid important?

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which can cause corrosion and reduce your braking performance. Replacing it every 2 to 3 years (or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer) helps maintain consistent braking pressure and safety.

How can I tell if my brake fluid needs to be changed?

If your brake pedal feels soft or spongy, or you notice a longer braking distance, your fluid may be contaminated. During your inspection, we’ll test your brake fluid and let you know if a replacement is due.

What happens if I don’t change my brake fluid?

Neglecting brake fluid changes can lead to rust inside your brake system, premature component wear, and even brake failure in extreme cases. Regular fluid maintenance protects your system and saves you from costly repairs.

How long does a brake inspection take?

Most inspections take 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the condition of your brakes and whether additional services, like a fluid change, are needed.
