Brake System Service Is Critical For Schertz Drivers

Brake System Service Is Critical For Schertz Drivers

| By: Christian Brothers Automotive

Fully operational brakes are essential to vehicle safety and reliability.

When you press the brake pedal and stop the tires from turning, you should feel confident that your car will come to a quick, precise, complete stop.

Did you know the brake system’s health and function are largely in your hands? Paying attention to maintenance schedules and the willingness to address problems immediately will keep your brakes working as they should for years.

When do you need brake system service?

An annual brake inspection keeps them responsive. These assessments detect problems quickly, which helps you avoid expensive replacements. You should also schedule a brakes check immediately if you experience the following:

  • Continuous squeaking, squealing, or grinding
  • The anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light comes on
  • The car jerks or pulls to one side when braking
  • The brakes have to be pumped to work properly
  • The brake pedal feels unusually soft and spongy or hard
  • Brake fluid is leaking around the wheels or engine compartment

The problem can be immediately dealt with if you call for an appointment as soon as trouble spots are discovered. Every drive should be safe and care-free.
