Acura Brake Service

Have Your Brakes Serviced at Fred Beans Acura of Abington

No matter what type of vehicle you drive, you'll need to make sure that your brakes are well taken care of. The brakes in your car, truck, SUV, or van are essential for your daily commute in Conshohocken, Doylestown, or beyond, as they help you stop and slow down throughout your travels. Without routine brake maintenance and necessary brake repairs, your brake system will deteriorate and be at risk for brake failure. We recommend learning more about brake service and contacting our service center to schedule your next brake service appointment today.

Warning Signs That Your Brakes Need Service

Your car's brakes will give you several red flags to warn you of a potential brake system problem. These include:

  • Spongy Brake Pedal - Does your brake pedal feel like it needs to be pushed all the way to the floor before anything happens? If so, this could be a sign that your brake fluid or brake line isn't working properly. You'll want to have your brake fluid and line inspected, repaired, or replaced.
  • Vibration or Shaking - Does your car shudder or shake when you step on the brakes? This is a sign that your brake rotors are warped or damaged. You'll need to have your brake rotors replaced to prevent larger wear from occurring.
  • Squealing or Grinding - When you apply the brakes, do you hear a loud squeal or grinding noise? If so, your brake pads are most likely worn or on their way out. You'll want to have your brake pads inspected and/or replaced before they are completely gone.
  • Warning Light - Did the brake warning light appear on your dashboard? Don't ignore the warning light. You'll want to schedule a brake inspection right away. And, if the light is blinking, pull over as soon as it's safe to do so and call a garage right away.

If you notice any of these warning signs, don't hesitate to schedule a brake service appointment with our team. Our certified technicians are prepared to inspect, maintain, or repair any brake issue, getting you safely back out on the road to Conshohocken, Jenkintown, Philadelphia, or beyond.

How Often Should Brakes Be Inspected?

If you aren't seeing signs of brake failure, you'll still want to have your brakes inspected regularly. This helps ensure that your car's brake system is working as it should. Brakes should be inspected at least once a year or at every state inspection.

What Can Cause Brakes to Wear Out Faster?

If you tend to drive in a lot of stop-and-go traffic, like on the busy streets of Philadelphia, your brakes will wear out faster. Brakes also tend to get more wear and tear when you're hauling heavy loads, driving on hilly or mountainous roads, or "riding the brakes". Brakes will wear with use, so if you're using them more throughout your daily commute, they'll need to be repaired quicker.
