Brake Service FAQ
What Are Signs I Need Brake Service?
Some of the signs that indicate you may need brake service include:
- Long stopping distances
- Spongey braking
- Burning smell when braking
- Squealing or scraping noises when braking
How Do I Make My Brakes Last Longer?
You can maximize the longevity of your brakes with a combination of regular service and adjustments to your driving habits around JBER, AK. Some tips for caring for your brakes include:
Â- Avoid sharp braking and come to gradual stops
- Inspect your brakes regularly
- Limit time in stop-and-go traffic
- Minimize towing or hauling heavy cargo
Why Are My Brake Squeaking?
Brakes typically make squeaking noises because they are wet, not properly lubricated, or worn down. Moisture on brake rotors can lead to a layer of rust, which can break off and become embedded in the brake pads. Squeaking noises from wet brakes should disappear after applying the brakes a few times and isn't a concern.Â
A braking system requires sufficient lubrication or the pistons can scrape against the brake drums. Your brakes may squeak if your brake pads are running out of their braking surface. Metal indicator tabs near the base of the pads rub against the rotor to warn drivers they need brake service. If brake squeaking persists, bring your vehicle in for brake service with us.Â
