Brake Service Fox River Grove

Signs your Fox River Grove vehicle needs brake repair

The longer you wait to rectify your braking issues, the more costly the repairs usually are. Any reputable shop will recommend that you have your brakes inspected annually or as soon as you notice any of the following conditions –

• Does your brake warning light come on when you are driving?
• You hear a grinding or squealing sound when braking
• Your rims and wheels begin appearing dirtier than usual
• You feel a pulsation or sponginess in your brake pedal
• Does Your vehicle start to shake or pulse when your braking?

Why regularly scheduled brake service is essential: In one word: Safety! In order to effectively stop your vehicle, your automotive brakes should always be in operating order and not worn down to the rotors. We highly recommend having your brakes inspected at least twice a year. An easy way to do this is to, just ask us to run an inspection next time you are in for an oil change! Considering that this is a system that you use daily, it is highly important that you make sure not to ignore any sort of issues. Remember, the longer you wait to rectify your braking issues, the more costly the repairs usually are. 

Brake Components & Services We Provide

Anti-Lock Brake System
Your vehicle’s Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) ensure that the wheels don’t stop rotating during braking, preventing the car from skidding and offering the driver greater control. If your ABS light comes on, visit Discount Muffler, Brake & Automotive as soon as possible and we will provide you with a FREE inspection. 

Brake Hoses & Brake Fluid
A brake hose is a tube that carries pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A crushed hose can cause a lagged or slow brake, and a leak in the hose can cause the brake, or the entire brake system, to fail. A brake hose isn’t something that needs to be replaced often but should be replaced at the first sign of cracking or wear and tear. Over time air can get into brake fluid which can cause it to become corrosive. Ask one of our technicians today about having your brake fluid flushed.
