What is a break check?

A brake check is a test or inspection of a vehicle's braking system to ensure it is functioning properly. This can involve checking the condition of the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake lines, as well as testing the brake fluid levels and brake pedal responsiveness.

Brake checks are important for ensuring the safety of the vehicle and its passengers. Faulty brakes can lead to accidents and put everyone on the road at risk. It is recommended to have a brake check done regularly, typically as part of routine maintenance or before embarking on a long road trip.

If you notice any warning signs of brake problems, such as squeaking or grinding noises, a spongy brake pedal, or vibration when braking, it is important to have a brake check done as soon as possible to identify and address any issues.
