1. Brake pads: Check for wear and tear, and replace if necessary. 2. Brake rotors: Inspect for warping or damage, and resurface or replace if needed. 3. Brake calipers: Check for proper operation and ensure they are not sticking or leaking. 4. Brake lines: Inspect for any leaks, cracks, or damage, and replace if necessary. 5. Brake fluid: Check the level and condition of the brake fluid, and flush and replace if needed. 6. Brake hardware: Inspect and lubricate all brake hardware, including clips, pins, and springs. 7. Brake system components: Check the brake booster, master cylinder, and ABS system for proper operation. 8. Brake pedal: Ensure the brake pedal has the correct amount of free play and is not spongy or sticking. 9. Brake warning lights: Check for any warning lights on the dashboard indicating a brake system issue. 10. Test drive: After servicing the brakes, test drive the vehicle to ensure they are functioning properly.

Hydraulic System:
- Brake fluid level and condition - Brake lines and hoses for leaks, cracks, or damage - Master cylinder for leaks or damage - Brake calipers and pistons for leaks, sticking, or corrosion - Brake pads for wear and contamination - Rotors and drums for wear, grooves, or heat spots
Mechanical System:
- Pedal and linkage for free play and binding - Booster (if equipped) for function and leaks - Power steering pump (if applicable) for leaks or low fluid - Wheel bearings for play or noise - Tires for wear, pressure, and alignment
Electronic System (if equipped):
- ABS module for faults and communication - Brake assist system (if equipped) - Electronic brake force distribution (if equipped) - Stability control system (if equipped)
Visual Inspection:
- Overall condition of brake components for leaks, damage, or contamination - Connections and fittings for leaks or loose connections - Caliper bolts for proper torque - Brake line routing for interference or damage
Additional Checks:
- Brake fluid flush to remove moisture and contaminants - Brake caliper lubrication to prevent sticking or binding - Rotor or drum resurfacing to remove grooves or heat spots - Check brake performance during a test drive, including panic stops
