Brake Pads and Rotors Service

Service Description: Brake Pads and Rotors are essential components of a vehicle’s braking system. Brake pads are the friction materials that press against the rotors to slow down or stop the vehicle, while rotors are the round discs that the brake pads press against. Regular maintenance of these components ensures safe and reliable braking performance.

Importance of the Service: Maintaining brake pads and rotors is crucial for vehicle safety. If these components wear out or become damaged, the vehicle’s ability to stop effectively is compromised, increasing the risk of accidents. Proper maintenance can prevent critical failures and ensure the vehicle remains safe on the road.

Details

Common Signs Indicating Service is Needed:

Unusual Noises: Squeaking, grinding, or scraping sounds during braking.
Vibration: A vibrating steering wheel when braking.
Spongy or Soft Pedal: A soft or spongy feel when pressing the brake pedal.
Visible Wear: Excessive wear on the brake pads or signs of damage to the rotors.

Service Process: During the maintenance, the technician will:

Inspect Visually: Check for signs of wear or damage on both brake pads and rotors.
Listen for Noises: Use a drum to rotate the rotor and listen for any unusual noises.
Measure Pad Thickness: Determine if the brake pads need to be replaced based on their thickness.
Resurface or Replace Rotors: If the rotors are worn or damaged, they may need to be resurfaced or replaced.
Clean and Lubricate: Clean the braking system and apply lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Recommended Maintenance Intervals:

Brake Pads: Typically every 20,000 to 30,000 miles, depending on driving conditions.
Rotors: Resurfacing or replacement may be needed when the rotor thickness is below the manufacturer’s specified minimum, which can vary based on usage and other factors.

Tips for Maintaining Optimal Performance:

Regular Inspection: Check the brake pads and rotors during routine maintenance to identify any signs of wear or damage early.
Monitor Brake Fluid: Ensure the brake fluid is at the correct level and condition to maintain proper braking performance.
Avoid Harsh Braking: Smooth braking habits help prolong the life of brake components.
Check for Leaks: Look for any leaks in the brake lines, which can affect braking efficiency.
Follow Manufacturer’s Recommendations: Adhere to the vehicle manufacturer’s maintenance schedules for optimal performance and safety.

Conclusion: Regular maintenance of brake pads and rotors is vital for ensuring your vehicle’s braking system remains safe and reliable. By understanding the signs that indicate service is needed and following recommended maintenance intervals, you can prolong the life of your brake components and maintain optimal performance between services.

ADVANCED AUTO Clinic is amazing!! The service is first rate from start to finish. They diagnosed my car’s issues, let me know what needed to be done to make it safe, and what could wait to be done if I chose. They kept me up to date by text, and let me know when to pick it up. And they even came in under the quote!! They are truly the most professional auto shop I’ve ever dealt with. I’m a fan!!”

Just moved to the area and found this site for auto service. I made an appointment for my 40K service and told them I would need to wait for the car. When I arrived they were ready to work on the car without delay. The service on the car was excellent. The car was clean when completed and they discussed the service done and future service needs. Also, you could not find a more pleasant group that assisted me behind the desk. They were polite, told me about future events and were very pleasant to work with. I was considering driving 60+ miles to bring my car back to the place I was using for 20 years but Advanced auto will be a place I will come back to.“

“By far one of the best shops I have taken my vehicle to. They were very thorough. I went in for an oil change and they did a complimentary full inspection. With photos and details on items that need attention now or in the future. The customer service was great. Everyone was very friendly. What I really liked was the electronic report that was sent to me for review. At the time of pick up they left a cup with snacks and a card as a thank you for trusty in them to service my vehicle. That really shows how much they care about their customers.”

“Advance Auto Clinic is great! I will be keeping their number in my phone book as a go to for my vehicles. My service was awesome. they fixed it very quickly and it was done perfectly. I also really enjoyed the online diagnostic views that they sent to my phone for me to see the areas that needed work on my car and what they look like. It included the reason why it was bad and how quickly it would need to be worked on. That was a very special feature that I really enjoyed.”
