Proper car maintenance, including regular brake service, is critical to safe driving. The brake system is probably the most important system in your vehicle. Most modern cars have disc brakes on the front wheels and drums on the back, while older or smaller vehicles often have all drum systems, and some expensive or high-performance cars have discs on all four wheels. All brake systems wear out eventually, but wear over time depends on several factors like driving habits, environment, and materials. Some vehicle manufacturers include brake service in their car maintenance schedule, but all brake systems should be inspected at regular time or mileage intervals, usually every 4-6 months or 5,000-7,000 miles.
