What Is Included in a Brake Service?

A brake service usually inspects, cleans, and lubricates all braking components as needed. We’ll perform an examination to confirm that all components are in good working order. Our more specific brake repair service options include the following:

Brake Inspections

An inspection usually takes place during an appointment for more thorough brake services or other common automotive tasks, such as oil changes. Certain warning signs, such as leaking brake fluid or reduced stopping power, mean it’s probably time for a thorough brake system inspection. We analyze your vehicle’s components to find the problematic ones that require repair and clearly explain your options to you.

New Brake Pads

When you hit the pedal to stop your vehicle, the brake pads provide resistance against the wheel rotors, clamping down to stop their rotation. Due to this clamping action generating friction, brake pads wear down and eventually require replacement. By the time 3 to 4 millimeters of pad material remain, you should consider getting them checked and replaced soon. Don’t let them run down too far, or you could experience damage to your wheel rotors.

Fluid Changes and System Cleaning

The brake fluid in most vehicles loses its integrity due to moisture absorption and should generally be exchanged about every two to three years. Hydraulic brake fluid distributes energy from the master cylinder to the calipers when the pedal is pushed, which then clamps the brake pads against the rotors. If too much time has passed, we might recommend a brake fluid system cleaning before adding any fresh brake fluid to unclog deposits and blockages and clean out the system.

Brake Rotor Resurfacing

Rotors attached to the wheels deal with high friction, heat, and resistance. Flat rotors have a greater surface area and produce more stopping force than blemished disc rotors. Either way, resurfacing restores blemished rotors to factory specs. However, your rotors can also become deformed or develop deep grooves that resurfacing cannot correct. A professional technician can determine whether your vehicle’s rotors need to be resurfaced or replaced.

Last but not least, you can count on the Bill Volz Westchester team for all forms of brake component repair. Several braking components can wear out or become damaged, requiring maintenance. Calipers, lines, and master cylinders are common examples of brake component repairs.

Why Servicing Your Brakes Regularly Is Important

Like everything else in your automobile, your brakes require upkeep to function properly. You’re at greater risk of an accident without healthy, properly functioning brakes. During a brake system checkup at our service center, we assess the general condition of your brakes and perform any necessary repairs, all in a no-pressure, informative environment. With our experts, Bill Volz Westchester has you set to drive safely.

When Do I Need a Brake Service?

Your brakes will often show signs and symptoms that suggest it’s time for a brake service. One of the most common signs is that when you press the brake pedal, you experience progressively less braking power. Also, keep an eye out for the following:

• When you apply the brakes, the steering wheel begins to wobble.
• You hear a grinding sound when hitting the brakes.
• Your vehicle begins to wobble or tremble as you approach greater speeds.
• Your vehicle pulls to one side while braking.
• The anti-lock brake system or regular brake warning dash lights turn on.

All these symptoms can indicate that something is wrong. The necessary work could be as simple as changing the brake pads or a more significant part replacement. In any case, you should schedule an appointment with our technician to inspect your brakes and other major systems.

More obvious signs, such as leaking brake fluid, odors while driving, or a loose or bouncy feel to your brakes, mean you likely need brake service urgently. We recommend booking the occasional checkup to avoid a sudden issue going undetected and getting worse.
