Brakes are pretty much the most important safety device on your car.
If you've ever partially lost your brakes in the past, you'll agree that it's not something you want to experience again.
Inspecting your brakes twice a year for wear and damage can protect you and your passengers.
Additionally, it will also help save you money by catching any damage before it becomes too costly.
The master cylinder, the heart of the vehicles braking system, holds the brake fluid when it is not being delivered to the brakes through the brake lines.

Most people ignore their tires, yet tires are undoubtedly a critical safety component on a vehicle.
Where the rubber meets the road affects traction, handling, steering, stability and braking.
Because of this, a sudden tire failure can have serious consequences, especially if it occurs when operating at high speeds.
An estimated 23,000 accidents and 535 fatal accidents annually involve blowouts or flat tires.
Maintaining proper tire air pressure is not only a major safety concern, but can also affect the handling and performance of your vehicle.

Think of it this way: Research indicates that the average vehicle is driven about 12,000 miles per year.
A car with a toe angle misadjustment of 0.34 degrees (only 0.17 inches) out of specification will drag the tires sideways for more than 68 miles by the end of the year!
Follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation noted in your owner's manual.
As a general rule, have your wheel alignment checked every 10,000 miles or at least once a year.
Better Gas Mileage: Gas mileage increases as rolling resistance decreases.
