Types of Brake Service You Need

Your brakes are made up of brake pads, which grip onto the rotors to stop the wheels from turning. Brake fluid powers the hydraulics that cause the pads to grip when you press on the brake pedal. When any of these components don’t work the way they should, it can keep your brakes from being as effective at stopping the vehicle.

When you come to King Honda Car World for brake service, we’ll look at all the components. We’ll replace the brake fluid and flush out the system. We’ll inspect your brake pads to see if they are worn enough to need to be replaced. If you go too long without having the pads replaced, you may also need to repair or replace the rotors. We’ll also check for leaks in the brake system and make necessary repairs.

How to Know When You Need Brake Service

You should have brake fluid replaced on a regular basis, according to manufacturer’s guidelines. Your bake pads may need to be replaced around 30,000 or 40,000 miles. Some brake pads are designed to last longer.

Some signs that it’s time to have your brake system looked at include the following:

• You hear a squealing or grinding noise. A squealing sound is usually noticeable first, but a grinding noise can indicate that the pads have worn down and the rotors are damaged.
• You may feel a vibration when you apply the brakes.
• The brake pedal may be stiffer or spongier than normal.
• You may notice that it takes longer to stop, or you press down further on the brakes to get the vehicle to stop.
• You notice brake fluid under the vehicle.
• The vehicle pulls to one side when you stop.

You don’t want to delay service for your brakes. If the brakes aren’t inspected when you notice issues, it can lead to further damage to the system. Some of these signs can also indicate problems with the tires or wheels, which is why an expert diagnosis is important.
