How often should I get my brakes checked?

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.
