Safety — it's something everyone values in a car, truck, or SUV. But did you know that well-maintained brakes are a vital part of your security on the road? Keep reading for some advice on when and how to schedule your next brake service.

On average, you should have your brakes inspected every six months, but it can also depend on how you drive. Heavily trafficked areas cause commuters to use their brakes more often than someone in a more rural location, resulting in a more frequent need for brake service.

If you aren't sure when your last brake check up was, you can schedule a consultation or keep an eye out for the following warning signs of deterioration:

• Spongy or soft-feeling brake pedal
• Vibration in the brake pedal or steering wheel
• Pulling on the steering wheel to either side
• Screeching or squealing noises
• A brake warning light illuminates on your dashboard
