Brake Service Intervals
There are primary brake services, which you should have checked and serviced at regular intervals. With brake pads, you should have them replaced every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. However, if you're seeing any wear, or noticing a loss in stopping power, or having to press all the way down on the brake pedal, get them checked sooner. With brake rotors, it's about every 50,000 to 70,000 miles, unless you have another issue such as a pulsating brake pedal, noises, or loss of stopping power.
For other brake services like brake fluid replacement, a good estimate for replacement is every 45,000 miles. You should also be mindful of brake calipers. While these should stand to be in good shape, older vehicles can see them wear down. Additionally, any noises like clicking, squealing or squeaking that you hear when braking is a good sign you might need them checked out, in addition to a pulsating brake pedal or stopping power loss.
