The brakes are one of the most important parts of your vehicle, because without them you can’t bring your vehicle to a stop. If your brakes go out while you’re operating your vehicle, it can be extremely dangerous, so it’s important to stay on top of getting your brakes checked on a regular schedule.

There’s no set-in-stone rule for when or how often you should be getting your brakes checked. It’s a good idea to get them inspected somewhat frequently, so it might be easiest to just always ask your technician to check your brakes while you’re getting your oil changed. That means every six months, which is a pretty good rule of thumb. You can also give your vehicle a precursory brake check on your own by finding the brake rotors and checking how worn down the pads are. You should still get your brakes checked often even if you inspect them like this yourself, but this is a quick thing you can do between checks to make sure nothing is wrong. Signs I Need Brake Service You should also bring your vehicle in for us to look at your brakes if you notice something going on with them. Even if we just inspected them a month prior, if you notice something wrong it could have already happened since then.

While the Eclipse Cross has only been around since the 2018 model year, the Eclipse nameplate itself has been around much longer. The Mitsubishi Eclipse was a sport compact in production from 1990 to 2012, with nearly a million units being bought and sold during that time frame. It’s one of the brand’s most successful vehicles and, therefore, one of its most recognizable nameplates. The brand wisely resurrected it for the introduction of this compact crossover, which continues to be a strong contender in its segment.
