The brake system is one of the most important safety systems in your vehicle. Keeping up with brake repairs and maintenance is critical to your safety on the road. The brake system is comprised of many components including brake pads, cylinders, drums and rotors. These components all endure wear and tear with miles driven and will need replacement and maintenance.  But if you are diligent with your brake system maintenance you can hopefully prevent the need for major repairs.

As part of Lansdale Automotive safety check we will inspect your brake system for any problems. Maintenance may include flushing and filling of the brake hydraulic system, brake pad replacement, replacement of brake lines, rotors or drums.

If you notice any of the following symptoms with your brake system, bring your vehicle into Lansdale Automotive for a Brake Inspection.

Symptoms of Potential Brake System Problems:

    * Vehicle is pulling to one side while applying the brake
    * Brake pedal vibrates when applying the brake
    * Brake pedal feels “spongy”
    * Noise or squeaking when applying the brake
    * Frequent need to add brake fluid to the master cylinder
    * The dashboard brake light comes on when you make a sharp turn

From the brake pedal to hydraulic brake fluid, brake master cylinder to power brake booster, drum brakes to disc brakes and electronic anti-lock brake sensors, technicians at Lansdale Automotive know every part of your brake system inside and out.

Remember, regular brake inspections should be part of your vehicle’s ongoing maintenance, helping to ensure its safety and reliability.

Any time you notice these symptoms or anything “out of the ordinary,” it’s a good idea to have your brakes checked. At Lansdale Automotive, if our inspection reveals they do require repair, we will explain exactly what’s required, what’s optional and provide you with an estimate before any work is done.
