Your brake repair technician should also inspect all metal to metal contact points to be sure that they are properly lubricated (and maintaining an effective barrier between the contact points) and inspect your brake fluid to be sure that there is no contamination from metal flakes or moisture. Fluid contamination can cause damage to essential braking components. And, while we are on the subject of fluids, be aware that experts recommend that you not top off your brake fluid when the level drops. Too much fluid prevents your brake alert system from working when the pads wear down. Tires should also be rotated every 5,000 to 7,000 miles to keep them from wearing unevenly.
