Brake Service & Repair at New Age Motors: Keep Your Vehicle Safe and Reliable

Brakes are one of the most critical components in any vehicle, ensuring safety for you, your passengers, and everyone else sharing the road. Regular brake service and repair are essential for maintaining optimal performance and preventing costly repairs down the road. Whether you’re dealing with noisy brakes, a soft pedal, or an illuminated warning light, getting your brakes checked early can save you time, money, and potential accidents.

At New Age Motors, we understand the importance of keeping your brakes in top shape. Brake service and repair are not just about making sure your vehicle stops when it should—they’re about peace of mind and safety. Our team of experts is here to ensure that your brakes are functioning properly, and we offer comprehensive inspections, maintenance, and repairs to keep you safe on the road.

Why Brake Service & Repair Is Important

Brakes are your vehicle’s most important safety feature. A well-maintained brake system ensures that your car can stop quickly and effectively, which can be the difference between a close call and a serious accident. Unfortunately, many drivers only think about their brakes when something goes wrong. The reality is that regular brake service and repair are essential for keeping your vehicle in safe, working condition.

Preventing Accidents

Brakes that aren’t functioning properly increase the risk of accidents. A worn-out brake system can result in longer stopping distances or even complete brake failure. With consistent brake service, you can ensure that your brakes respond quickly and efficiently, reducing the likelihood of accidents.

Extending the Life of Your Vehicle

Regular brake maintenance and timely repairs can extend the life of your vehicle. If you neglect your brake system, you might end up needing costly repairs or even replacement of the entire brake system. By scheduling regular brake inspections, you can catch problems early and avoid these expensive fixes.

Saving Money

Regular brake service is a small investment compared to the high costs of repairs and replacements. By catching issues early and addressing them promptly, you can avoid the need for expensive part replacements, such as rotors, calipers, or an entirely new braking system. Additionally, proper brake maintenance can help improve fuel efficiency, as dragging or misaligned brakes can create unnecessary drag on your vehicle, causing it to use more fuel.

Common Signs That You Need Brake Service & Repair

Brakes are designed to last for a long time, but they will eventually wear out. It’s important to be aware of the warning signs that indicate your brakes may need attention. If you experience any of the following, it’s time to schedule a brake inspection at New Age Motors.

Squeaking, Squealing, or Grinding Sounds

If your brakes are making noise, it’s a clear sign that something’s wrong. A high-pitched squeal can indicate that the brake pads are worn down and need to be replaced. A grinding noise may mean that the pads are so worn down that they’re scraping against the rotor, which can cause more damage if not addressed immediately.

Brake or ABS Warning Light

Modern vehicles are equipped with sensors that monitor the health of your brake system. If your brake or anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light comes on, it’s important to have your brakes inspected as soon as possible. This warning light could signal a variety of issues, from low brake fluid to more serious problems with the brake system.

Pulling to One Side

If your car jerks or pulls to one side when braking, it could be a sign of uneven brake wear, misalignment, or a problem with your vehicle’s suspension. This issue not only affects braking efficiency but can also create dangerous driving conditions.

Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal

If your brake pedal feels soft or spongy, this could indicate a problem with the brake fluid, such as air in the brake lines or a leak in the system. A soft pedal means the brake system isn’t responding as it should, and it’s crucial to have it checked immediately.

Hard Brake Pedal

If the brake pedal feels unusually hard to press, it could be a sign of a problem with the brake booster, which assists in applying pressure to the brakes. This is typically a vacuum leak or a problem with the hydraulic system, both of which should be addressed by a professional.

Brake Fluid Leaks

If you notice brake fluid around the wheels or under the vehicle, it’s a clear indication that there’s a leak somewhere in the brake system. Brake fluid is vital for the proper functioning of the brakes, and a leak can lead to a loss of pressure and a complete failure of the braking system.

How We Can Help: Brake Service & Repair at New Age Motors

At New Age Motors, we provide a full range of brake services to ensure your vehicle’s braking system operates at its best. Whether you need a simple inspection or complex repairs, our team of certified technicians is equipped to handle all your brake needs.

Brake Inspections

We offer comprehensive brake inspections to check for signs of wear, leaks, and damage. Our team will thoroughly assess the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid levels to ensure everything is functioning correctly. As part of our complimentary 50-point inspection with an oil change, we’ll also check your brakes to catch any issues early.

Brake Pad Replacement

The most common brake repair is the replacement of the brake pads. Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced to ensure proper braking power. We use high-quality pads and components to ensure long-lasting performance and safety.

Brake Fluid Replacement

Brake fluid is essential for the hydraulic brake system, and over time, it can degrade and lose its effectiveness. We offer brake fluid replacement services to ensure your system remains at peak performance.

Brake Rotor Resurfacing and Replacement

If your brake rotors are warped or damaged, they can affect your ability to stop smoothly. We provide both resurfacing and replacement services to restore your braking performance.

ABS System Repairs

If your ABS light is on, it could mean that there’s an issue with the anti-lock braking system. Our technicians can diagnose the issue and perform the necessary repairs to restore your ABS system to full functionality.

FAQs: Brake Service & Repair

How often should I have my brakes checked?

It’s recommended to have your brakes checked at least once a year. However, if you notice any issues such as strange noises, a soft brake pedal, or an illuminated warning light, you should have them checked immediately.

How do I know if I need new brake pads?

Common signs include squeaking or squealing noises, reduced braking power, and longer stopping distances. If you’re unsure, our technicians can inspect your brake pads and let you know if they need to be replaced.

Can I drive with worn-out brakes?

It’s not safe to drive with worn-out brakes. Continuing to drive with damaged brakes can lead to more severe problems, including brake failure. It’s important to have them repaired as soon as you notice any issues.

What is the cost of brake repair?

The cost of brake repair varies depending on the severity of the problem and the type of vehicle you have. After inspecting your brakes, we will provide you with a written estimate for approval before performing any work.

How long do brake pads last?

Brake pads typically last between 30,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and the type of vehicle. It’s important to have your brakes checked regularly to ensure they’re in good condition.
