How fast you can you go? How fast can you stop?

Most automobile ads tout the power of a car or how many miles per gallon can be achieved by using careful driving habits. But, all automobiles share another function that is just as important as being able to speed through mountain curves or travel 500 miles between fill-ups. Going fast can be fun, but remember, at some point the car has to stop. Brakes are just expected - a neatly ignored feature in most automobile ads. The reason is that brakes are so mundane. They just do not excite many buyers. When a car fails to stop properly, that is a different matter. Drivers then tend to get a lot more excited. That is where companies like Budget Brakes come in.

Brakes wear out on a regular basis depending on the driving environment and the habits of the driver. Vehicles driven exclusively in urban areas with many hills may need to have brakes replaced in 12,000 to 15,000 miles. On the other hand, vehicles driven almost exclusively in rural areas or on Interstate highways may go 75,000 or more miles before brake repairs are required. Since most people drive in a variety of conditions, frequent brake inspections are recommended. Technicians employed by Budget Brakes and other similar companies are trained to quickly assess the condition of your brakes and provide advice on when brake service should be expected.
