Never skip maintenance. What's your best 3-word advice?

Brake life is based entirely on usage. The more you use the brakes, and the harder you use the brakes, the shorter their life. Most vehicles under a normal mix of highway and city driving, will go through a set of brakes every 30,000 miles or so. But that's an average. If you drive like a New York City cabby, you might need brakes every 15,000 miles. If you do all your driving on the highway, and gently coast to a stop on off-ramps, you could get 90,000 miles out of a set of brakes. In either case, brake pads and rotors should be checked regularly to make sure they're still within safe standards so don't hesitate to stop by $99 We Tow It and let us take a look.
