How to Care for Your Brakes

When it comes to your brake system, you don’t want to compromise on the care it receives. At Ferber’s Tire & Auto Service in Ashland, Virginia, we offer expert brake maintenance for all makes and models. Regular maintenance of your brakes is crucial to their overall performance and reliability. Brake fluid flushes are required at certain intervals to maintain the effectiveness of your brakes. Brake fluid degrades over time and becomes prone to harboring contaminants like metal, debris, and rubber. Another maintenance task is brake pad replacement, as brake pads wear with use and cannot effectively slow down or stop your vehicle. In addition to brake fluid flushes and brake pad replacement, we can resurface rotors and bleed brake lines. We recommend annual brake inspections to ensure all components are in prime working order, such as the brake pads, rotors, shoes, calipers, and master cylinder.

Types of Brake Problems & Symptoms

Unfortunately, brake systems are not immune to problems. If you notice grinding noises, squealing or squeaking sounds, vibrations when engaging the brake pedal, or a soft or spongy brake pedal, there may be a problem present that warrants professional brake repair. You may also experience an increased stopping distance. Various issues can cause these symptoms. Some of the most common brake problems include low brake fluid, air in the brake lines, seized caliper, a clogged or faulty master cylinder, and a blown brake line. We have vast experience repairing disc and drum brakes, as well as anti-lock brakes (ABS). Types of ABS complications include sensor contamination from debris or metal shavings, damaged wiring, or a bad controller. At our auto shop, we believe in utter transparency. When you visit us with a brake problem, we will issue a written estimate of the necessary repairs and only perform the work once we have your consent. Our brake mechanics conduct in-depth inspections to diagnose the correct problem.
