Now, there is quite a bit more to performing a brake job than simply looking for worn brake pads and braking fluid, that are now linked with additional safety systems and components such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and traction control.
The added complexity and expense of these brake-related mechanisms demand that brakes not be taken for granted.
Brake repair that is neglected, overlooked, or only partially completed, may potentially invite more costly service down the road.

TIP: Brake fluid can become contaminated in two year or less because it is "hygroscopic " (meaning that it readily absorbs water).
