You likely have questions about the brakes and maintenance of your car. The service team at Mike Shaw Toyota in Corpus Christi, TX, is here to assist. We answered some of the FAQs below:
What does a complete brake service entail?
Removing old brake fluid, replacing brake pads, resurfacing rotors, and cleaning, adjusting, and lubricating other brake components are part of the service.
Is it necessary to clean brakes?
It is important to clean the brake rotor, caliper, springs, and spindle when you replace the brake pads to ensure that friction remains. Although you will eventually need to replace your brakes, preventative maintenance will help them last longer.
What is the recommended brakes maintenance schedule?
It is recommended that you replace your brake pads every 25,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on your driving habits, car's make and model, and several other factors. The owner's manual usually contains the automaker's prescribed service schedule.
What is the average time it takes for brake service?
Depending on the severity of the problem, brake repairs can take from 15 minutes to eight hours. On average, they take one to three hours. It is important to consider the type of brake repair you need, as some types take longer than others to complete.
What are the signs that your brakes need to be replaced?
When your brake pads are worn out, a little metal component called an indicator is designed to generate an extremely irritating noise. If you ever depress the brake pedal and hear a high-pitched noise, you've undoubtedly heard the indicator's distress signal.
Is it better to replace the brakes or service them?
Depending on how worn the brake pads are or the damage to the discs, replacing brakes could be more cost-effective than servicing them. Ask your technician how long the brakes will last to assist you in making your decision.
