Auto Brake Service

Each time you stop at a red light, slowdown in traffic, or stop quickly to avoid an accident, your brakes are hard at work keeping you safe and helping you avoid disaster. Over time, your brakes experience wear and tear, which can impact their efficiency and functionality. Regular maintenance with an auto brake service is crucial to keeping your car’s brakes in good working order and to catch any damage before it becomes dangerous.

Signs You Need a Brake Service

There are many signs and symptoms that signal you need to get your brakes serviced. If you experience any of the following, call your local auto brake service provider:

  • The brake pedal feels spongy or presses farther than normal
  • Your car pulls to the left or right when you brake
  • Weird sounds or vibrations occur when you brake
  • There is squealing, squeaking or grinding during braking
  • Your vehicle feels like it’s wobbling or pulsating at high speeds
  • The brake pedal is slow to respond
  • It has been over 12,000 miles since your last brake inspection

Brake Repair Vs. Brake Maintenance

It is highly recommended that you schedule routine brake maintenance to prevent brake issues from occurring in the first place. As your first line of defense against smashing into a truck or pedestrian, your brakes are paramount to your safety and must be in top working order.

At a preventative auto brake service, your technician will inspect every component of the brakes system to ensure there are no damages or faulty parts.

What Does a Brake Inspection Cover?

A full auto brake service is a comprehensive inspection which covers every aspect of the brakes system, including:

  • Brake pads
  • Brake rotors/drums
  • Brake fluid
  • Brake caliper and rotor alignment
  • Brake hose
  • Brake master cylinder

Why Are Routine Brake Inspections Important?
Not only will a comprehensive brake assessment and service identify any issues that require repair or replacement, it will also give you cost estimates for any necessary work that needs to be done based on the specific problems as well as options for the best parts available.
