You should have your brakes examined every time you take your Buick Encore in for service. Coggin Buick/GMC of Orange Park offers free multipoint inspections during every visit, but you need to refer to your Buick Encore maintenance guide in your owner's manual for more advice regarding suggested front brake replacement and inspections.
