Winter is right around the corner, which means that now is the perfect time to take care of some fall maintenance. Brake service is one of our most-recommended maintenance items during this time of year. Why? Your brakes are made up of a series of components that work together to help you slow down and stop. Over time, these parts can wear out, which can create safety concerns as you drive around town. Getting your brakes checked regularly is the best way to catch potential problems with your brake system and address them before they cause trouble for you.
Our Team Can Inspect Your Brake Components
Here at our service center, we can provide your car with the professional brake service it needs to give you the stopping power you require for a safer drive. We can check all parts to make sure that they're all doing their jobs correctly.
When one part fails, it can compromise the brake system. For example, the brake calipers squeeze your car's brake pads against the rotors to make your car stop. So, if any of these components are damaged or worn, your brakes can't function properly. That's why it's so important to have your brakes checked regularly.
How to Tell When Your Brakes Need Service
If your brakes need to be replaced, there are a few warning signs that can indicate that your brake system needs attention. If you experience any of the following brake issues, please give us a call to make a service appointment so that we can check your brakes and make necessary repairs:
- Worn brake pads with less than a quarter-inch of material
- Car pulling in one direction when you brake
- Soft brake pedal
- Brake noise like squealing or screeching when you slow down
