Brake repair is arguably the most critical service for your vehicle; without it, you're in trouble! It's essential that you have your brakes regularly serviced by the professionals – us, of course – so that you can be confident in your vehicle while you are on the road. Here are some of the things we'll be looking at:
The condition of the brake pads and whether these need replacing.
- Resurfacing or replacement of your brake rotors or drums.
- Changing your brake fluid.
- Brake bleeding.
- Replacement of brake lines and other brake components as needed.
Recognizing The Warning Signals
When you're hurt, you let others know that you need help and something is wrong. Well, your vehicle does the same thing. Regular brake inspections should already be a part of the ongoing maintenance of your car – this is so that you can ensure safety and reliability while you're out driving. When your brakes are in need of a little attention, some warning signals are given out, and you'll know about it when they need your help! Let's take a look at what you can expect:
- Pedals that feel too low or spongy, indicating a problem with air in the hydraulics.
- The brake light on the dash is glowing red, which tells you that there is an imbalance in the system.
- Amber brake lights are a warning to tell you that there is a problem with the ABS.
- Squealing and grinding sounds are never good, and this indicates that it's time for new brake pads.
All of these can be the cause of longer stopping distances, making your driving less than ideal and with a slower response, there's a more significant chance of accidents. At HB Auto & AC, you can avoid all of this. We can assist to make sure that you don't find yourself in an emergency because of the conditions of your brakes. Any time that you notice any of these symptoms means that it's time to get your brakes inspected – even if they've just been done!
Whether it's the brake pedal or the brake fluid, you need to sort your scheduled maintenance and get it locked in. HB Auto & AC has the expert technicians that you need on your side to inspect every part of your brake system.
