Possible Problems
Keeping an eye on your brakes is nearly impossible if you don’t know what you’re looking for, which is why you’re going to want to be familiar with the symptoms of bad brakes. Generally, when you notice a change in how your brakes operate, it’s almost never a good thing. If you feel that your brakes have softened or even stiffened, you might have a problem with your brake fluid in particular. When you step on the brake, you should also come to a smooth stop. If you feel vibrations and shaking or you hear grinding or squeaking sounds, you might have an issue with your rotors. Over time, your rotors might become warped, which can lead to significant issues. With an inspection, our mechanics will be able to quickly diagnose your problem so that you don’t have to drive a vehicle that you aren’t confident in. At worst, your brakes might even cause your engine to stall if you have a bad power brake booster. With a visit, your brake problems will be solved in no time at all.
A Good Solution
When it comes to fixing up your brakes, the first step is figuring out where to start. This means that when you bring your vehicle in, you can expect to have a brake inspection performed, where our mechanics will go through your various systems in order to sniff out the problem. Factors like your symptoms can help to quickly find the issue, but everything else will be inspected as well in order to make sure you don’t leave with any failing parts. After this, you might need one or more services, with some of the most common consisting of fluid exchanges, brake line repairs, rotor resurfacing, pad or rotor replacement, and a brake light diagnosis. You most likely won’t need all of these at once thankfully, as your brakes are designed to last for years on end. When you bring your vehicle in for maintenance at Stanley Ford McGregor, you can be sure that our mechanics will see the job through, so that you can rest easy when you’re driving.
