Brake Repair FAQs

brake repair faqsIf you are like most drivers, you probably know that brake squeal is not a good sound, but what else do you know about brake service in Escondido? At D Mac’s Auto Repair, we see a lot of major brake repairs that could have been prevented with a simple brake pad replacement or other regular maintenance. To help our customers understand when to bring their cars in for service, we have put together these handy brake repair FAQs.

What Should I Do if My Brakes Are Squealing?

When you begin to hear brake squeal, believe it or not, there is actually nothing wrong with your brakes yet. However, this does mean that it is time to bring your vehicle in to have the brake pads replaced. Why? Because your brake pads have “squealers” built into them to indicate when the pads have had a certain amount of wear. Consider a little bit of squealing an early warning system to let you know to come see your mechanic.

Do I Really Need a Brake Inspection?

No one wants to spend money they don’t have to, which is why, of all the brake repair FAQs we hear, this is one of the most common. However, if you have not had your braking system checked out in some time, then you likely do need a brake inspection. An inspection will ensure that all of the parts and components of your braking system are working well, and when we perform an inspection we can tell you if anything needs to be serviced.

How Often Should I Get My Brakes Checked?

To ensure that your vehicle has stopping power when you need it, you should get your brakes serviced regularly. How often you need brake repairs will depend on how much you drive, the conditions you drive in, and your driving style, but you can find a good recommendation for service intervals in your vehicle owner’s manual. And, if it has been a while since you had brake service, do not hesitate to bring your vehicle in right away for an inspection.
