Don’t overload your vehicle with unnecessary items; carrying an excessively high number of heavily weighted items will burden your vehicles breaking system, cause them to wear quicker each time your brakes are activated.

Brake fluid should be flushed and replaced every two years or so. This is extremely important if you own an older vehicle or one that you just recently purchased used. Not periodically changing your brake fluid could cause the line that initiates the braking system to corrode or rot. The rotting comes from the fact that brake fluid attracts water and moisture from water will cause internal corrosion. Your brake lines are essential actors in the vehicle braking process and it is important that they are maintained.

Using high quality brakes and rotors may cost you more money upfront but the future savings could be double the price you paid initially. Bargain, discount, brand brakes and rotors tend to wear out much quicker and give problems that the good ones tend not to give. Ask the mechanics at Uchanics what brakes they recommend based on your location and driving habits. All brakes are designed differently and depending on where you drive, and how you drive, a specific brake and rotor material might be better for your vehicle.
