Brake Inspections

Brakes serve as your Lexus’s initial line of defense, ensuring safety on the road. This makes regular brake inspections crucial to your Lexus’s optimal operation. When you visit our Service Center for routine maintenance, such as an oil change, our expert technicians will comprehensively examine various components, including your brakes. This inspection includes assessing wear, checking brake fluid levels, measuring brake pad/shoe thickness, inspecting for potential leaks, examining calipers and their components, verifying anti-lock brake sensors, and testing hardware to make any necessary adjustments.

When To Replace Brakes

Lexus recommends having your brake pads replaced approximately every 50,000 miles. However, individual mileage may vary based on lifestyle demands and driving habits. Hard braking, exposure to road debris, and inadequate brake maintenance can contribute to a shortened lifespan of brake pads. When you choose the Lexus of Sarasota Service Center, our skilled technicians will thoroughly inspect your brake system to ensure optimal performance and address potential issues.

We recommend replacing your brakes every 50,000 miles. However, driving habits and lifestyle demands can shorten the lifespan of your brakes.

Vibrations, shakes, and jitters are all common warning signs that your brake rotors are warped. If you're experiencing any of these things, you should bring your car in immediately for maintenance if it’s still safe to drive. Warped rotors may need to be either ground down to working order or replaced.

There are small, metal hairs at the bottom, which make loud noises. If you hear squealing or scraping, it means that your brakes are nearly out of gripping material.

Brake fluid helps transfer the movement and force created when you press down on the brake pedal.

  • Brakes feel spongy or hard to press down
  • Squealing or grinding noises
  • Your car pulls to one side
  • Your steering wheel or brake pedal shakes when applying the brake
  • Your Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) warning lights to come on

  • Check brake pads and rotors.
  • Flushing your brake fluid.
  • Bleeding of your brake lines.
  • Replacing or updating older worn brake parts.

Getting your brake pads inspected and changed is important to not only help maintain your vehicle’s performance but also for your safety. Over time your pads wear down from use, and if you start to hear squealing, rattling, or grinding, you should have your brakes looked at immediately.
