PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT AND REPAIR
Like all vehicle parts, brakes wear down over time and require timely repair and continuous maintenance. It’s crucial to be mindful of several signs so you know your brakes need immediate attention.
Here are some signs that your German vehicle needs a brake service:
A squeaking or grinding noise when you apply the brakes is a common sign that your brake pads are worn down and must be replaced. Ignoring this noise can lead to more severe damage to your brake system, potentially resulting in costlier repairs.
If you feel vibrations or shaking in the steering wheel or brake pedal when you brake, it could be a sign of warped brake rotors. This can cause uneven braking and reduce your ability to stop quickly in an emergency.
If your brake pedal feels soft or spongy, there could be a problem with the brake lines or master cylinder. This can result in reduced braking performance and potentially dangerous situations on the road.
Many German vehicles are equipped with a warning light on the dashboard that will illuminate if there is a problem with the braking system.
If you notice that your vehicle is taking longer to stop, your brake pads may already be worn down, or there is a problem with your brake system.
A burning smell when you apply the brakes signifies overheating, indicating a problem with the brake pads, calipers, or rotors.
This usually manifests as a puddle of fluid under your vehicle. Brake fluid is crucial to the proper functioning of your braking system; a leak can lead to reduced braking performance and potentially dangerous situations.
If you experience any of these signs, have your German vehicle immediately inspected by a brake professional. At Hans Wittler’s Automotive, our experienced technicians work on various German vehicles and can provide expert brake services to ensure your vehicle is safe and reliable.
The frequency of brake service depends on several factors, including the vehicle’s make and model, your driving habits, and the conditions in which you typically drive.
Generally, having your brakes inspected at least once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first, is recommended. Brake pads may require servicing every 10,000 to 20,000 miles. Rotors, on the other hand, can last up to 50,000 miles.
If you drive in heavy traffic or frequently use your brakes, you may need to have your brakes inspected and serviced more often. Moreover, if you notice any signs listed above, you should have your brakes checked immediately.
Know that regular brake service will not only ensure that your vehicle is safe to drive. It can also save you money in the long run. By catching minor issues before they become more significant problems, you can avoid costly repairs and keep your vehicle running smoothly for years.
You owe it to yourself—and your fine German vehicle—to secure the best brake services for your German car.
