Power Brakes Service

1. What is Power Brakes?

Power brakes are a critical component of a vehicle’s braking system that assists the driver in applying the brakes, making stopping the vehicle easier and more consistent. This system relies on hydraulic pressure, vacuum assistance, or electric motors to enhance braking efficiency. Proper functioning of the power brakes ensures safe and reliable stopping distances, which is essential for vehicle operation and occupant safety.

2. Importance of Power Brakes Maintenance

Regular maintenance of the power brakes system is vital for several reasons:

Safety: Ensures that the braking system operates effectively, reducing the risk of accidents.
Performance: Maintains optimal braking responsiveness, enabling smoother stops and quicker reaction times.
Reliability: Extends the lifespan of brake components by preventing wear and tear.
Fuel Efficiency: Properly functioning brakes can improve overall vehicle efficiency.

3. Signs Indicating the Need for Power Brakes Service

Common indicators that your power brakes may need servicing include:

Difficulty Stopping: Experiencing prolonged or inconsistent braking distances.
Squeaking or Grinding Noises: Hearing unusual sounds during braking, which can be a sign of worn brake pads or rotors.
Spongy Brake Pedal: Feeling a soft or springy pedal response when pressing the brakes.
Brake Fluid Leaks: Visible leaks around the braking system components.
Unusual Vibrations: Feeling vibrations or shaking when braking, which may indicate issues with the braking components.

4. Service Process

Our power brakes service includes:

Comprehensive Inspection: A thorough examination of all braking system components to identify any wear or damage.
Diagnosis: Identifying the specific issues affecting the braking system’s performance.
Replacement of Worn Parts: Replacing brake pads, rotors, and other components that have reached their service life.
System Calibration: Adjusting the power assistance system to ensure optimal performance and responsiveness.
Brake Fluid Flush: Replacing the brake fluid to remove contaminants and ensure smooth operation.
Final Inspection: Verifying that all repairs have been successfully completed and that the braking system is functioning as intended.

5. Recommended Maintenance Intervals

To maintain optimal performance and safety, we recommend the following maintenance schedule for the power brakes system:

Every 10,000 to 15,000 Miles (or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer):
Full Inspection: A complete examination of the braking system to identify any potential issues.
Brake Fluid Flush: Replacing the brake fluid to ensure it remains free from contaminants.
Wear Component Replacement: Replacing brake pads, rotors, and other components that have reached their service life.
Regular Check-ups:
Before Long Trips: Ensure that the braking system is in good condition before embarking on extended journeys.
After Inclement Weather: Check for any signs of water ingress or damage caused by adverse conditions.

6. Tips for Maintaining Optimal Performance Between Services

To keep your vehicle’s power brakes in top condition between scheduled maintenance:

Monitor Fluid Levels: Regularly check the brake fluid level and top it up as needed.
Inspect Brake Pads and Rotors: Periodically inspect brake pads for wear and replace them when they reach the manufacturer’s recommended thickness.
Listen for Anomalies: Pay attention to any unusual noises during braking and address them promptly.
Avoid Aggressive Braking: Minimize sudden or hard braking to reduce wear on brake components.
Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Adhere to the vehicle’s maintenance schedule and recommendations for optimal performance.

Conclusion

Regular maintenance of the power brakes system is essential for ensuring your vehicle’s safety and reliability. By understanding the signs that indicate the need for service and following the recommended maintenance intervals and tips, you can keep your braking system functioning effectively 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.”
