Brake calipers play an important role in the function of your brake. The calipers house the pistons and brake pads, ultimately helping to slow the wheel of your vehicle and bring your car to a stop when you press on the brakes. As you use your brakes, the caliper starts to wear, and you will find yourself having to replace them. Calipers generally last about 75,000 to 100,000 miles, or 10 years, depending on which comes first.

Having your vehicle inspected is an important part of keeping it in good condition and safe to drive. A safety inspection not only helps ensure that your car meets the safety standards set by the government but also helps you identify any potential issues before they become major problems. This post discusses what a typical safety inspection entails so that you can be better prepared for it. It'll cover everything from brakes and tires to lights and wipers, as well as other items that are often overlooked during inspections.
