Brake Pads
One very common service that you will need to do for your brakes from time to time is to replace your brake pads. When you press down on your brake pedals, the brake pads are clamped against each of the rotors by the caliper to create the resistance needed to stop. This will naturally cause a lot of friction and damages if the brake pads are worn. The brake pads on your car will help to protect your brakes as they will take the brunt of the braking force. If you notice that there is a grinding sound or an audible screeching when using your brakes, you may need to have the pads replaced.   

Brake Fluid Exchange
There is also brake fluid running through your braking system at all times. This is a very important fluid because it is designed to keep your brakes lubricated, which ultimately can help to reduce friction and damage. Every so often, you will need to have this fluid replaced and exchanged. When you have this service done, all of the existing fluid will be drained, your system will be cleaned, and new fluid will be put in its place.  

Resurfacing or Replacing Your Rotors
At some point, you may need to have more significant repairs done for your brakes. The brake rotors are directly responsible for stopping your wheels from spinning when you hit the brake pedal. While these can last for a very long time, there could come a situation in which your brake rotors need to be repaired and resurfaced. Doing this will help to protect the brakes and keep them effective at stopping your car.
