What to Consider When Maintaining Brakes

Inspecting the Brakes

Consider it a good idea to know the condition of the brakes. Every six months, usually during a tire rotation, it becomes wise to have a full brake inspection performed. Our technicians can look at all the various brake system parts and components, including the lines and hoses. Someone could check the brake fluid level, as well. Oil brake fluid oil can also be changed.

Brakes Wear Out

Brakes wear out over time due to friction. The rotors and pads, in particular, wear down. Under harsher driving conditions where drivers must continually apply the brakes, expect the brakes to wear down ahead of the manufacturer's suggested replacement interval.

Our team can perform brake work to replace or refurbish troubled parts. Sometimes, we may need to replace the master cylinder, hose, lines, or other parts. Remember, drivers benefit from a brake system in good working order.

Be On The Alert for Problems

Brake issues may occur unexpectedly, and drivers should ignore problems. So, applying the brakes on a Natick, MA road leads to hearing odd, squeaking, or screeching sounds, that's not a good sign. Nor is it beneficial when the brake pedal hits the floor or feels loose. Vibrating brake pedals are warning signs and don't ignore any brake-related dashboard lights. Get things checked at the first sign of something not being right.
