Importance of Regular Brake Maintenance
Regular brake maintenance is crucial for the safety of yourself and other drivers on the road. Worn brake pads and rotors can lead to longer stopping distances and decreased braking performance, putting you at risk for accidents. Additionally, neglecting brake maintenance can also lead to expensive repairs down the road.
Signs of Brake Wear
One of the first signs of worn brakes is a squealing or screeching noise when braking. This noise is caused by the wear indicator on the brake pad, and it is a sign that the pads need to be replaced as they’ve completely worn away to the point that only bare metal remains. Other signs of worn brakes include a grinding noise when braking, a soft or spongy brake pedal, and longer stopping distances.
How We Can Help
At Southern Commercial Diesel, we provide comprehensive brake repair and maintenance services for diesel vehicles. Our team of experienced mechanics can inspect your brakes and diagnose any issues. If brake pads or rotors need to be replaced, we use high-quality parts to ensure that your brakes are working at their best.
Brake Pad Replacement
One of the most common brake repairs is the replacement of worn brake pads. Brake pads are the friction material that presses against the rotor to slow down and stop the vehicle. Over time, the friction material on the pads wears down, reducing their effectiveness. Our mechanics can inspect your brake pads and let you know if they need to be replaced. We will always provide you with a quote before any work is done.
Rotor Replacement
Another common brake repair is the replacement of worn rotors. Rotors are the metal discs that the brake pads press against to slow down and stop the vehicle. Like brake pads, rotors can become worn over time, reducing their effectiveness. If your rotors are worn, they may need to be replaced. Our mechanics can inspect your rotors and let you know if they need to be replaced.
