How often should I have my Acura's brakes serviced?


The life expectancy of your brake pads is based on a number of factors including your driving style and the number of miles you drive every year. We recommend changing your Acura's brake pads at least once every 50,000 miles. It's important to keep in mind that road debris, a habit of hard braking and irregular maintenance can wear out your brake pads much more quickly. When you have an Acura oil change or other routine maintenance, ask us to inspect your braking system to spot any issues as early as possible.

What's included in an Acura brake inspection?


When you have us do regular brake inspections you can help your Acura perform better while keeping you and your family safe. With the typical brake inspection we will check brake fluid levels, examine your brake pads for wear and measure the thickness of the brake pads and shoes. We can also look for leaks in the brake line, inspect the calipers for fluid leaks and test the hardware, making any adjustments that are needed.

How can I tell if my Acura's brakes are going bad?

There are a number of warning signs that can tell you when the brakes on your Acura SUV or sedan are going bad or need maintenance. For example, when the brakes feel spongy or the brake pedal is hard to press down, that could be an indication of potential brake issues. If you hear a squeaking or grinding noise, that's also a common indicator of brake issues. Another warning sign is when the steering wheel or brake pedal shakes when you step on the brakes. If you notice your car pulls to one side or your  brake warning light appears on the dashboard, bring your Acura to our service center for a brake inspection.

Why are my Acura's brakes shaking?


If you notice shakes or vibrations it's an indication that your brake rotors may be warped. When you notice either of these issues, it's important to bring your Acura to our service center as soon as possible so we can determine whether it's safe safe to drive. If the rotors are warped they may need to be ground down to proper working order or they might need to be completely replaced.

What's involved in Acura brake maintenance?


A routine inspection of your Acura's braking system will start with a check of your brake pads and rotors. In addition, we can flush your brake fluid and bleed the brake lines. Another important maintenance step is to replace or update older worn-out brake parts like pads, calipers and rotors.
