Riser Ford Lincoln Offers Brake Repair Near Hot Springs

Break

Most vehicle owners' manuals recommend that brakes be inspected every 12,000 to 25,000 miles, or at least once a year. However, this can vary depending on your driving habits and the condition of your brakes. AAA recommends that drivers get their brakes inspected every six months, or when drivers rotate tires.


If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or carry heavy loads, you may need to have your brakes inspected more often. Similarly, if you notice any issues with your brakes, such as a soft pedal, grinding noises, or pulling to one side, you should have them inspected as soon as possible. It is important to have your brakes checked regularly to ensure that they are functioning properly and to catch any issues before they become more serious and costly to repair.


The qualified staff at Riser Ford Lincoln will be glad to check your brakes. Don’t wait for signs of brake trouble to take your vehicle to Riser Ford Lincoln for a brake inspection. 

How Long Do Brakes Typically Last?

That’s a good question: brakes can last between 25,000 and even up to 75,000 miles. The majority of brake pads and shoes last between 30,000 and 35,000 miles. If you drive in the city and have a lot of stops and starts, your brakes will need to be serviced more often. If you do a lot of highway driving and don’t frequently stop, they can last longer. 

What Types Of Brake Service Are There?

A "brake job" is the most common type of braking system service. Technicians remove brake pads and replace them. Brake pads are meant to be replaceable parts on your car, like oil and air filters. 


Another type of brake service is a brake flush. Technicians remove old brake fluid and flush the brake lines, then replace the fluid. They can also bleed brake lines, removing air that can reduce system efficiency.


Other types of brake services include master cylinder repair or replacement, anti-lock braking system (ABS) repair, and repair and replacement of brake calipers and rotors. 

How Can I Tell If I Need Brake Repair Near Hot Springs

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that brake problems play a role in 19% of car accidents. Keeping your brakes in good condition keeps you and others safe while driving. 


The most common sign that it’s time to take your vehicle in for a brake inspection is a squealing or squeaking noise when braking. The noise is caused by a small metal part that’s called the brake “squealer.” The squealer is a metal tab that is designed to rub against the rotors when your brake pads have worn down to a level where they need to be replaced. 


In addition to the brake “squealer,” here are some other warnings that you should bring your car, truck, or SUV to Riser Ford Lincoln to be checked:


  • Brake pedal feels “spongy” or depresses quickly: You could have a brake fluid leak or problem with your master cylinder.


  • Brake pedal is hard to depress: This can be caused by air in the brake lines.


  • Steering wheel vibrates when you brake: This could be caused by warped rotors or damaged calipers.


  • Brake warning light for the brakes or the ABS system.


If you notice any of these issues, bring your car to Riser Ford Lincoln for a brake inspection. They can locate the source of the problem and do the brake repair that you need.
