Brake Maintenance & Service Needed by European, Domestic, or Import Vehicle
- Brake Pad Replacement: The brakes are one of the most important components in your vehicle as they not only help in stopping your car but also play a vital role in its optimal handling. The brake pads get pressed against the brake rotors when you press the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle. If you get to hear a squealing or screeching sound accompanied by a reduction in braking performance then you must drive into any of the garages located in Lewisville or Argyle to get your malfunctioning brake pads replaced immediately.
- Brake Fluid Flush & Replacement: The brake fluid creates hydraulic pressure in the braking system which is necessary for the optimal functioning of the brakes. However, contaminated brake fluid can lead to brake failure or corrosion in the system. Often, the problem of soft or spongy brake pedals is related to bad brake fluid. If you are driving through McKinney or Cross Roads, then step into any of our garages to get your brake fluid flushed & replaced by our team of certified mechanics.
- Brake Caliper Inspection: The calipers contain the pistons that are responsible for pushing the brake pads against the rotors. Most of the time, malfunctioning calipers can lead to a drop in the braking performance, the car pulling to one side, or a dragging effect on the brake. You are also going to come across leaking brake fluid near the calipers and uneven brake pad wear. This is when you must get in touch with a certified auto repair shop to get your brakes inspected & fixed accordingly.
- Brake System Inspection: The brake system inspection is a crucial maintenance aspect of cars and it takes into account all the braking components of your vehicle. One of the biggest advantages of going for a brake system inspection is that it can help identify problems with your brake before it takes a turn for the worse. You should take your car to an experienced auto repair & service shop where the professional mechanics would look after the brakes of your car.
FAQs
What happens if I ignore brake maintenance?
If you are neglecting your brake maintenance then it can lead to reduced stopping power, increased repair costs, or complete failure of the brakes.
Why is my car making a burning smell after braking?
The burning smell after braking might be caused by overheated brakes, mostly caused due to excessive braking or stuck calipers.
Why does my brake pedal feel spongy or soft?
The presence of air in the brake lines, inadequate levels of brake fluid, or a malfunctioning master cylinder are the root causes of the problem.
What is brake fade & what causes it?
The brake fade occurs when your brakes get overheated & lose their efficiency, and mostly it is caused by excessive or prolonged braking.
Can I drive with a brake warning light on?
