Bad brakes can leave you in a pretty sticky situation, to say the least. If there’s one system that you don’t want to fail in your vehicle, it’s easily the one that lets you come to a safe stop.

A Strong Brake System
Your brakes are a lot more complicated than they might let on at first, as not only are there pads and rotors to worry about, but your brake lines might eventually run into problems as well. Your brakes require an immense amount of hydraulic pressure to bring your vehicle to a stop, so when something like air enters your brake lines, you might find that they don’t function nearly as well as they used to. While this can be one cause of faulty brakes, it certainly isn’t the only one. Since this is such a vast system, there are a number of services that may need to be performed depending on where your brakes are in their lifecycle.Struggling Brakes
There are a lot of signs that might point toward bad brakes. You might first notice that your dashboard lights up with warning signs, which can include your Brake, ABS, or even your Check Engine Light. If you notice any of these symbols, you’ll want to have your vehicle services at your earliest convenience. Other signs include leaking brake fluid, strange noises, or any general change in brake response. Your brakes should feel smooth, so if you’re having to press your foot down further than normal in order to get the same results, it could be a sign of trouble. You might also notice strange vibrations, which might be a sign that your rotors are in trouble. If the issue continues, you may even find that your vehicle shakes as you brake, which is a jarring experience, to say the least. When you notice changes in your brakes, it’s best not to write it off, and instead schedule an immediate service. When it comes to this system, it’s always best to play it safe.Service and Maintenance;
There are quite a few different services that you might receive when you bring your vehicle in. Generally, every service starts with a thorough inspection so that our mechanics can tell exactly what needs to be fixed. Once the problem is narrowed down, you might need services like brake line repair, a brake fluid exchange, brake rotor replacement, or more. When it comes to your brake lines, your system may have to be cleaned with a chemical agent if it’s been contaminated, before more fluid is added. Other parts of your system like your brake shoes might end up needing a total replacement. Depending on where each part is at in its life cycle, you most likely won’t need to replace everything at once. With a thorough inspection though, our mechanics will be able to locate the root of the problem, and after service, you can expect to be back on the road without any of those aforementioned symptoms.
