Brakes are one of the most important safety features on your vehicle. That’s why regular brake inspections are key to staying safe on the road. At Auto Medics in St. Johns, FL, we take a close look at your braking system to make sure it’s working as it should.
A standard brake inspection usually includes checking the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid. Our technicians look for wear and tear on your brake pads, which help stop your car. If they’re too thin, it’s time for a replacement.
We also check the rotors, which are the metal discs that the pads press against to stop your wheels. If rotors are warped or too worn, they can cause vibrations or longer stopping distances.
Brake fluid is another important part of the system. This fluid transfers the force from your foot on the pedal to the brakes. Low or dirty fluid can cause your brakes to feel spongy or not work properly.
During your visit to Auto Medics, we also test the brake calipers, hoses, and lines to make sure there are no leaks or damage. We may take your car for a short test drive to check real-world performance.
Brake inspections help catch problems early and keep you and your passengers safe. If you hear squealing, grinding, or feel your brakes pulling to one side, it’s time to come see us. Let our expert team in St. Johns, FL, keep your brakes in top shape.
