Brake Maintenance Explained
The better you maintain your brakes, the more you can rely on them on the road. A vehicle’s brakes allow it to stop as needed, but they also improve drivers’ control and stopping distance, so the more efficiently they run, the safer you and your passengers will be.
You want to check your Jeep manual for regular brake service needs. Standard brake service can include brake fluid fill-ups, brake pad replacements, inspections, and any necessary repairs.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs Brake Repair
Regular service is essential to safe, reliable brakes, but you’ll also want to recognize signs of damage or wear to your Jeep SUV’s brake system so you can address it right away. Here are some of the indications that your brakes are damaged or in need of repair.
- Your stopping distance gets longer
