When was the last time you had our brake service? Are your brakes squealing when you apply pressure to the brake pedal? These are just a few of the signs that indicate your vehicle requires brake maintenance.
Brakes are a very important safety feature that keep your car under control while stopping safely. Brakes also are one of the most important preventive maintenance tasks a car owner can undertake. Without good brakes, you run an increased risk of an accident. Fortunately, your local brake shop can provide timely brake service to ensure continued safe stopping for many more miles. Brake pads are designed to wear out after 20,000 or so miles. Brake fluid draws in moisture from the humid air and goes bad over time. You need preventive maintenance and auto brakes repair to ensure your brakes stop safely for more safe travels.
The most common sign you need auto brakes repair is when you hear loud metallic scraping sounds while braking. You also can hear grinding noises while letting up on the brakes and during turns. The brake pedal might feel spongy instead of giving you firm stopping power. Those all are common signs the brake pads are worn out and dragging on the rotors. A soft or spongy brake pedal suggests the master cylinder is leaking or fluid otherwise is bad or low. You also might see the ABS light or brake light on the dashboard warning you that something is amiss. There are numerous ways to monitor your brake performance. If you take consistent brake performance for granted, here are several things you can keep an eye on to make sure you can keep stopping when you need to.
A quality local brake shop like United Tire has ASE-certified technicians and brake parts by the top OEM and aftermarket parts suppliers. We remove all four wheels and fully inspect your brakes. We start with the master cylinder under the hood to make sure it holds fluid and works as designed. If not, we replace it. Then we inspect the brake pads, calipers, and rotors on all four wheels. If the brake pads are nearing their service limit or worn improperly, we replace them on both wheels on the same axle. That ensures you have the same expected brake pad life on all wheels. We resurface or replace brake rotors as needed and replace any calipers that are not working correctly. We finish with replacing the old brake fluid with new and bleeding all four brake lines.
