2010 Honda Accord

Hi All My name is Victor and I'm this is my first post so here goes:

I've had my honda for two years and i'm not sure when the brakes are supposed to be changed I recently went for a tire rotation and the mechanic didn't mention anything.

My question is:

How do i check to see if my brakes are still good?

sorry for such an ignorant question but my skills are in computers not cars

Regards,

Victor

anybody?
