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
