Most people don’t think about how much they stop even in just the short distance to the corner store, but in that short distance your brakes are used more than you would think, and your brakes are to thank for getting you there safely. Seems a little silly I know, but without them how would you stop? Every day we put a lot of trust into something so simple yet so overlooked. Outside of windshield wipers and good tires our brakes are among the biggest safety devices.

Did you know that suspension components can affect your braking distance, brake wear and tire wear among other things? A vast majority of individuals overlook the suspension systems in their vehicles leading to premature tire wear, brake wear and in extreme cases failure of certain components. The average life expectancy of a shock absorber is 4 to 5 years or in the realm of 50,000 miles. Most cars we own are reaching over 100,000 or 150,000 miles and most people have never changed their suspension.

Most of us remember when we had to replace the spark plugs on the old truck that sat in the driveway. A lot of vehicles now don’t need tune ups as often as the old pickups, but it is still a service that is required based on the manufactures recommended mileage. A lot of manufacturers don’t require spark plugs until close to 100,000 miles but how many of us are driving vehicles with more than that and haven’t changed the spark plugs.
