Anti-lock brakes can stop skidding, avoid accidents and save lives. That’s why it is critical to take care of your ABS with proper maintenance to avoid potentially extensive—and expensive—damage.
Car-X recommends maintenance every 24,000 miles (or every 2 years) with a proper flush and fill of brake fluid.

If you every have to “slam” on your brakes, traditional brakes would lock up and cause you to skid. That’s why experts say to “pump” your brakes in those situations. But with anti-lock brakes, there’s no need to “pump,” because they do the work for you. They provide that pumping action much faster than a driver ever could—as fast as ten times per second. Plus, sensors detect which wheel is most likely to lock up and direct most of the action there.

Car-X recommends getting new tires every 30,000 or 40,000 miles. If your tire tread is at 4/32 of an inch, it is a good time to consider getting new tires. Anything less and the tire is considered “bald,” and legally worn out in most states.
