Brake Test and Replacement
While accelerating on Interstate 57 is exciting, coming to a complete stop is extremely important. To make sure your brakes are in good working condition, get them tested or replaced at our Service Department! You can rely on us at Taylor Chrysler Jeep Dodge to take good care of your vehicle.
Warning Signs
Since few vehicles have a dashboard light that indicates your need for new brakes, it is vital that you keep an eye out for some of these red flags. For starters, drop by our dealership as soon as you can if you ever have trouble bringing your automobile to a halt. If this happens, you could be at a higher risk of collision. Furthermore, if you hear a screeching or grinding noise while you are slowing down on Main Street, then your pads may need to be replaced. This sound could mean that the calipers are pressing against the rotors, which could cause further damage. Finally, a car, truck, or SUV that pulls to one side of the street while stopping needs to be addressed. Luckily we can assist you at our location!
Brake Test
Even if you don’t detect any of the aforementioned warning signs, you should have your brakes inspected at least once a year. That way, we can find issues before they become dangerous. When you come to our Service Department, our skilled team will be able to examine each wheel’s brake system for damage. We’ll check the pads to see if they’ve worn down beyond what is normal. Also, we can take a look at the rotors to make sure that they are still able to stop your set of wheels. If they look good, we’ll give you a time frame of when to come back for a replacement. Otherwise, you can chat with us about your options for getting new parts.
Replacements
If your brakes are beyond repair, then the time has come to get new ones. This may involve swapping out the pads and rotors, but oftentimes, just replacing the former will work. You can chat with our Parts Department about what brand to use, but our team has plenty of expertise working with Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles. You can also rely on us if you don’t have a model made by one of these manufacturers! If you have questions about how the process works, feel free to direct them to our team via the Ask a Tech form. We hope to hear from you in the near future.
