Brakes Service at Premier Kia Of Carlsbad

One of your vehicle’s most essential components for safety is you’re braking system. Like most vehicle parts your braking system needs to be inspected, maintained, and eventually replaced. For the life of a vehicle, you may be looking at multiple brake replacements depending on your average annual mileage. Well-maintained brakes could be the difference in preventing or minimizing damage in any potential accident or collision along the road. Luckily, Premier Kia of Carlsbad is ready for you and your vehicle to get top-notch care when it comes to your brakes. We serve all residents of the region including San Diego, Escondido, Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Temecula for nearly any make and model vehicle.

Signs Your Brakes Need Repair or Replacement

Problems with brakes are often easily recognizable with common symptoms that can indicate the need for a brake inspection or component replacement. These may include:

  • The vehicle pulls left or right when braking
  • A Shaking or vibrating steering wheel and/or vehicle
  • Grinding or squealing while braking
  • The brake pedal responds slowly, seems spongy, or requires increased pressure.

Many modern brake pads have an existing metal component that squeals as your brakes wear down and increase in volume the worse the condition gets. Also, your vehicle may feel off with unexplained bumps, wobbles, or vibrations. Several possible signs of brake disrepair are less obvious, so it is essential to get your brakes inspected according to your vehicle’s manufacturing recommendations.

Understanding Braking Systems

Braking systems are comprised of several different components that work together to ensure that the vehicle can stop quickly and safely. Brakes include a series of pads, plates, rotors, hoses, shoes, and cylinders that attach to your wheel and slow it down when you apply pressure to the brake pedal.

Brake inspections and assessments often include a comprehensive look at all your brake components as well as their current condition. During a brake inspection, technicians look at the following as it pertains to your brakes:

  • Pad thickness measurements
  • Fluid level checks and assessment for leakage
  • Condition of rotors and drums
  • General wear and tear inspection
  • Inspection of brake hose condition

Taking care of your brakes and your brake components can help save you money on larger repairs and replacements down the line, so follow your vehicle’s recommended timeline for brake assessments, which is generally every 12,000 miles or so.
