Not all drivers know how often they need Subaru brake service. Since your brakes are so important to your vehicle’s safety and performance, it’s important that you stick to a preventative maintenance schedule and know what symptoms might mean your brakes need immediate attention. Here’s when—and why—to come see the expert technicians at Miller Subaru.
General Brake Service Schedule
Most drivers need new brake pads and rotors about every 30,000 miles. In general, your brakes should be inspected twice per year to make sure they’re functioning properly. When you bring your favorite model to our dealership for routine services like an oil change or a tire rotation, we’ll perform a thorough inspection so you’ll always have confidence that your brakes are healthy and high performing. For exact service intervals for your specific model, you can consult your user manual or simply ask our team.
Signs You Should Schedule a Subaru Brake Service Appointment Right Away
Between routine service appointments, your vehicle might exhibit symptoms that it needs brake service sooner rather than later. Here are some signs to look out for:
- The brake light on your dashboard illuminates.
- You hear squealing or grinding when you decelerate.
- There’s a burning smell when you step on the brake pedal.
- Your brakes feel too hard or too soft.
These signs could mean a variety of brake issues, so it’s best to be safe and schedule an appointment with our expert team to pinpoint the exact cause.
