We Put You First
Expert brake maintenance and repair is essential to the safety and security of anyone driving on the road. While all systems in your car are important, the braking system is unarguably the most important. Without it, you don’t stop. So, why entrust your safety to a dealership that is more concerned with money than your safety? Here at West Automotive Group in Kearny Mesa, CA, our ASE-certified technicians know exactly what to look for when it comes to brake health. Our tailored maintenance plans are outfitted with everything your braking system needs to stay in tip-top shape. Our auto repair shop is stacked to the nines with upgraded technology and diagnostics equipment so that we can give you the most precise readings, measurements, and repairs in the marketplace today. And we do all of this so you don’t need to worry needlessly about your vehicle. Everyone knows that having brakes maintained and repaired properly is the best way to avoid catastrophic problems while on the road. Brake pads alone can last anywhere between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. However, things happen. Emergencies always occur, and sometimes at the worst times imaginable. That is why we don’t just keep a keen eye on things during maintenance appointments, we also educate our customers on what to look out for, just in case.
Warning Signs
The term ‘brake failure’ sends a shiver down the spine of everyone who hears the phrase. It’s a scary concept but one that can be avoided with a stable preventative maintenance schedule. The good news, however, is that many warning signs for impending brake issues are easily noticeable. Many of us are familiar with the most common sign: high-pitched squealing noise whenever you depress your brake pedal while moving. The ear-piercing sound may be horrendous, but brake pads are constructed with these warning signs in mind to help you out. That sound is intentional by design, so it isn’t one you want to ignore. If you do, it could turn into a grinding noise, which means the metal is coming into contact with metal. That is a much bigger issue that can result in a much higher bill if not promptly resolved. There are other signs as well. For example, your dashboard might have a brake light if you have a newer model vehicle. If that light comes on, it’s time to get them checked out. Another very noticeable symptom is your steering wheel’s shaking, or shivering. If you press your brake pedal down while in motion and your steering wheel vibrates, that is cause for concern. If you smell anything, especially burning, it could mean that your brakes are heating up unnecessarily. And if the brake pedal generally starts to feel squishy or less responsive than you’d like, it may mean your brake fluid is leaking where it shouldn’t. So, don’t take the risk if you are experiencing any of the above. See us so we can get your braking system fixed up.
