Every Jasper driver needs reliable and consistently responsive brakes. At Ruxer Truck Center, we want to show locals how to keep their brakes in excellent condition. With the tips that follow, you can prevent unnecessary wear and give your auto's braking system the timely care it deserves.
Have Your Brakes Regularly Inspected
Don't wait until you hear the tell-tale signs of worn brake pads or worn brake shoes to schedule professional brake maintenance. Putting service off until your brakes start squealing when depressed could result in excess wear on your rotors. Schedule brake service at least once each year.
Coast to Slow Down
To preserve your brakes, try coasting to slow down when possible. This limits the amount of wear that brakes sustain by reducing demand. It also helps drivers maintain moderate traveling speeds. By additionally keeping a safe following distance, you can also avoid braking in response to drivers in front of you who brake unnecessarily.
