What is the best way to maintain the brakes on a Ford Focus?

I recently purchased a used Ford Focus and I'm not sure how to properly maintain the brakes for optimal performance and safety. Can anyone share their tips and advice?

Hi Samantha, congrats on your new Ford Focus! To maintain the brakes, it's important to regularly check the brake pads and rotors for wear and tear. Also, make sure to replace the brake fluid every 2 years or as recommended by your manufacturer. When driving, avoid frequent and aggressive braking to prolong the lifespan of your brakes.

Hi Samantha, I recommend using OEM brake pads and rotors for your Ford Focus. They may be more expensive, but they are specifically designed for your vehicle and will provide better performance and durability. Also, avoid riding the brakes for extended periods of time and try to anticipate stops to decrease wear on your brakes.

Hey Samantha, another important aspect of maintaining your brakes is proper tire maintenance. Make sure your tires are properly inflated and rotated at recommended intervals to ensure even wear. This can also help reduce strain on your brakes.
