Brakes FAQ
Q01Do I always need new rotors with new pads?
No. If your rotors are within spec and not warped or deeply grooved, we'll leave them. We'll show you the measurement either way.
Q02How often should brake fluid be changed?
Most manufacturers say every 2–3 years. Fluid absorbs moisture, which lowers its boiling point and corrodes lines from the inside.
