How You Can Protect Your Brakes

To get the most out of your vehicle’s braking system, it is not enough to come in for routine repairs, although that does help. You must also implement healthy driving habits, as no repair service is good enough to overcome bad driving habits for long. Here are some things you can do If you want to ensure your braking capabilities for the long haul:

• Stop Riding The Brake: although we appreciate the proactive approach, it isn’t necessary to always hit the brakes or even have your foot on it all the time. Not only is this frustrating for others, but it also quickens the wear-and-tear process on the brake pads.
• Avoid Sudden Stops: sometimes sudden stops are inevitable and necessary. With that said, do your best to avoid this when possible. Sudden stops place a tremendous amount of stress on the brakes. Although the brake system is designed to take that level of stress, it isn’t able to take it consistently.

A great way to implement these tips is to increase the distance between your car and the vehicle in front of you. This gives you more time to react when the car in front does stop, allowing you to come to a slow stop instead of a sudden halt.
