Brake Repair
Brakes
wear out over time and the life of your car’s brake pads is
dependent upon many factors such as driving conditions and how you
apply your brakes. In addition, brake fluid is one of the most important
components in your car’s braking system, yet it is often one
of the most overlooked. When your car is maintained regularly at Shade
Tree Garage, brakes are one of the points we check with each service.
We let you know the condition of your brakes and if there are any
potential problems.
Preventative maintenance and brake repair are critical to keeping
you and your family safe when driving; especially with the amount
of traffic we have here in New Jersey.
If you notice any of the following,
you should call to have your brakes inspected:
•
Brake Light is On: Either the emergency brake is on
or you have a serious drop in hydraulic pressure. Your brakes may
be near total failure and you need to have them checked immediately.
• Drag: This is caused by “sticking” brakes, hot wheels or an engine that has lost power. The brakes may
be failing to release. The condition can reverse itself, leaving you
with no brakes at all.
• Grabs: “Touchy” brakes
that grab with the least amount of pressure. This symptom may indicate
a problem as simple as a grease or oil-contaminated lining. It may
also be an indication of a more serious problem such as loose or broken
components that can fail in an emergency.
• Hard Pedal: Requires extreme pressure to
make the brakes function and can mean trouble with your power brakes,
restricted hydraulic lines, frozen calipers or wheel cylinders, or
damaged brake linings.
