Having properly functioning brakes is critical for safe drives around Denver and Aurora. Our Denver Toyota service center is here to help you make your brakes last and provide expert care when it's time for some maintenance.
Reduce Braking Intensity Where Possible
One of the simplest ways to reduce strain on your brakes is by applying them slowly and gradually whenever possible. Hard, sudden stops cause your brake pads and rotors to wear down much faster. When approaching a stop, begin braking early and lightly to allow your vehicle's momentum to do most of the work. Coasting to a gradual stop when traffic allows also minimizes unnecessary brake wear and can even improve fuel economy.
Get Regular Brake Inspections
Having your Toyota's brakes inspected regularly is key to catching any developing issues before they turn into major problems. During a brake inspection, our trained technicians will measure your brake pad thickness, check your rotors for uneven wear or warping, test your brake fluid level and quality, and more.
Lighten Your Vehicle's Load
The heavier your Toyota is, the harder its brakes need to work to bring it to a stop. Whenever possible, avoid storing unnecessary heavy items in your vehicle. Extra weight puts additional strain on your braking system over time. By keeping your vehicle lighter, you can help alleviate some of the burden on your brakes and allow brake pads to last longer before wearing thin.
Invest In Quality Brake Components
When it does come time to replace brake pads, rotors, or other components, opting for high-quality parts can help your brakes last significantly longer compared to generic, budget parts. Higher-quality brake pads are manufactured with more durable friction materials that resist wearing down under heavy use. Performance rotors are also better equipped to withstand heat and resist warping over time. The parts experts at Mountain States Toyota can help you determine which brake components will deliver the best longevity for your driving needs in Aurora and beyond.
