The Importance of Brake and Lamp Inspection
On your BMW, Audi or any other vehicle, it’s important that all your safety features stay in top working order— and this starts with your brakes and lamps. When you step on the brake pedal, you need to slow safely to a stop. At the same time, drivers behind you need to know you’re slowing, as your brake lamps will indicate. A regular brake and lamp inspection should never be overlooked. At General Auto Shop in Seattle, we know you might not think too often about worn-down brake pads or burned-out brake lamps. This is why we do a brake and lamp inspection with all oil changes, around every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, or every six months.
A Brake and Lamp Inspection Will Ensure Safety
Just like any other component of your vehicle, brake pads and brake lamps have a finite lifespan. While some brake pads can endure up to 50,000 miles of use, others may wear out much sooner, sometimes within just 20,000 miles. Similarly, a brake lamp can fail unexpectedly, leaving you vulnerable on the road. Thin brake pads can lead to metal-on-metal contact, compromising your vehicle’s stopping power, while a malfunctioning brake lamp can impede visibility, putting you and others at risk. A proactive brake and lamp inspection not only helps prevent costly repairs from potential accidents but also ensures your safety on the road.
