Safety 101 – Brakes

Coloradans are known to keep the same car for years. Are you someone who has joined this legacy? If so, Urban Autocare in Denver has some great tips that you’ll find useful. If you’re an individual who has owned, or will own the same car for years, it’s time that you figure out a game plan to make sure your car stays in tip-top shape! Previously, our Toyota repair gurus mentioned the importance of giving your vehicle proper oil changes throughout its lifetime, but you can’t forget about the brakes!

For obvious reasons, your Toyota’s brakes matter. Think about it: Without brakes, you wouldn’t be able to get very far, or more realistically, you would go too far and wouldn’t be able to stop! Safety matters, and the longevity of your vehicle does too. Planning to keep your car for months, years or even decades is a good plan if you want to save money, or if you love your car and have a bond that can’t be broken. But if you’re planning to keep your car in tip-top condition, you must make sure that your vehicle has proper maintenance when time demands. Our Toyota repair experts in Denver recommend that you get your car’s brake pads checked every 30,000 to 40,000 miles, but keep in mind that if you pay a little extra for high-end brake pads, your brakes may last twice as long.

Learn about your brakes.

We invite you to contact Toyota’s number one repair specialist in the Denver area today to schedule a time to get your vehicle’s brakes checked — call us today. Don’t go anywhere just yet, stay tuned for our next blog: Does Your Vehicle Have Good Drums (Or Rotors)?
