Now that we are in the heart of National Brake Safety Awareness Month, this is a reminder to inspect your vehicle’s stopping power. Scheduling brake maintenance and repair now preserves your Honda car’s control and protects you from expensive brake system repairs in the future. The team at Heritage Honda Bel Air is ready to help you maintain peak performance on every journey.
What Are the Signs That You Require Brake Maintenance?
Your vehicle typically exhibits signs that its brakes require service. When your brake hardware begins to fail or wear out, you’ll start to notice a brake pedal that sinks too close to the floorboard. This is likely an issue with air in the brake lines or a drop in hydraulic brake pressure. If your car pulls to one side during hard braking, the culprit is likely a sticking caliper pin or uneven pad wear. Another sign is a harsh grinding sound when you press down on the brake pedal. This means that your pads are completely worn down, requiring immediate brake service.
What Kinds of Brake Maintenance Are Performed by Our Technicians?
Keeping your brake system safe and responsive requires regular service visits to Heritage Honda Bel Air. Our technicians will measure brake pad friction levels to prevent bare metal backing plates from rubbing against the smooth rotor surfaces and damaging them. We’ll also periodically flush old hydraulic fluid in order to remove trapped moisture, which prevents corrosion and restores firm pedal resistance. Finally, we’ll clean and lubricate caliper slider pins to guarantee that the pads wear evenly.
