When to Have Brake Repair
Regarding when it may be time to have a brake repair appointment scheduled for your new or used car, this can be due to many symptoms. Generally, bad brakes show themselves through spongy brake pads, worn brake pads, squeaking or squealing brakes, delayed stopping, brake fluid leaks, rattling and vibrations at the steering wheel, trouble steering, veering to one side while driving, a burning smell, and generally poor performance on the road when trying to slow, steer, or make a complete stop. The brake system of a vehicle, whatever brand, tends to be good for around 50,000 miles before needing more significant repairs. After you hit this milestone, it’s possible to need brake alterations and replacement components to keep your system up to date. Whatever the case may be, Ferber’s Tire & Auto Service is here to step in. We will be here to assist if you need minor or major brake repair today, tomorrow, or down the line.
Our Certified Auto & Body Repair Services
See Us Every Six Months
On top of covering your emergency brake repair appointments, the Ferber’s Tire & Auto Service team is also more than glad to assist with routine upkeep and brake maintenance. Typically, you need a professional to inspect your brake system every six months to ensure it works optimally. The more you drive, the more likely your vehicle is to experience brake-related trouble or wear and tear, which, although entirely normal, can cause long-term issues. As we shared above, spongy brakes and delayed stops are the most obvious symptoms of bad brakes needing repair, so keep an eye out for these issues. You also want to have your oil changed around the same time as your brake inspection so we can schedule these together. Whatever Feber’s team can do to make your annual maintenance easier, we’ll do it.
