Brake Repair FAQs
Most drivers find that their brakes need to be replaced after the first 30,000 miles and every 25,000 to 30,000 miles after that. As a general rule, it varies a lot depending on the type of driving that a vehicle performs and the habits of the driver, too.
A complete brake repair means that our technicians will replace your brake pads and rotors and inspect the brake hardware. They will also check the caliper slides and piston operation. We also offer a brake fluid exchange so you can get back on the road with the confidence that your brake system can respond properly and reliably as you navigate through your day.
Brake fluid has many unique features in a brake system; one of those features is that it absorbs moisture. Why is that important? Moisture left alone in a system during cold winter months can freeze, and once the weather warms up again, it will boil, causing your brake pedal to fade.
By absorbing the moisture into itself, the brake fluid dissipates the moisture, reducing the chances of brake failure. Moisture in the system left unchecked can lead to premature part failure, internal rust, and corrosion of the brake lines. Most manufacturers will recommend a brake fluid exchange every 30,000 miles to keep the brakes operating at their highest level.
Our service centers can help with the most common types of brakes including disc brakes, drum brakes, emergency brakes (also known as the parking brake), and anti-lock brake systems.
A brake warning light is used to predict a brake system problem. Common problems include brake pads, warning sensors, or low brake fluid. In other vehicles, the brake light alone is used as an indicator to make drivers aware when the parking brake is on.
Squealing or grinding brakes should not be taken lightly; they are the first sign that you may have a brake problem. A visit to Mavis, Tire Kingdom or NTB is necessary to determine the cause and to learn what the best repair options are.
