Benefit From Brake Repair and Replacement Services From My Calgary Mechanic!

This goes without saying – the brakes on your vehicle are highly important for your and others’ safety on the road. It’s important not to ignore the warning signs, as the longer you go without servicing your brakes, the more damaging it is to your vehicle. When brake pads are completely worn out, metal brake components will grind on the rotor and will need to be replaced. 

Here are three benefits of getting brake service when you notice warning signs:

  • Brakes keep you safer
  • Brakes last longer
  • Brakes work better

Brakes are an essential part of any vehicle. That’s why you must seek brake service when your brakes show signs of wear. Without a thorough inspection, you would never know what’s wrong. It’s important to ask an experienced mechanic to check the brakes to ensure the system works properly. At My Calgary Mechanic, we’re passionate about great, honest service and will work with you to resolve any issues with your brakes. Call or visit our shop to get a quote today.

First Signs Of Defective Brakes

Every vehicle owner must be aware of potential signs indicating the need for brake service. Addressing these signs can make all the difference in your safety on the road.

Common Warning Signs

  • Squeaking or Squealing: If you hear high-pitched squeaking or squealing when applying the brakes, it’s often a sign that your brake pads may need attention.
  • Grinding Noise: A grinding noise while braking can indicate that your brake pads are worn down to a dangerous level. Ignoring this sound can lead to further damage and increased repair costs.
  • Reduced Braking Performance: If you notice your vehicle takes longer to come to a stop or the brakes feel less responsive, it’s time to have them inspected.

Protect your vehicle’s braking system with preventive maintenance from some of Calgary’s top mechanics. Regular care extends component life, optimizes performance, and saves you money in the long run. Take proactive steps to ensure your brakes are always in top condition.

How Often Should You Service Your Brakes?

How often you need servicing on your brakes will vary depending on your use, your driving style, and how frequently you are carrying heavy loads in your vehicle.

With repeated heavy braking, pads and rotors wear out more quickly while decreasing fuel efficiency. For those who frequently use their vehicle to carry heavy loads for deliveries or commercial use, you’ll want to have the brake system checked more frequently.

Taking your vehicle in regularly for brake service is a good practice to identify any problems early on. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend seeing a professional technician every 12,000 miles for a check-up. Additionally, brake pads tend to wear out at about 25,000 miles with normal driving and brake fluids need to be replaced around the same period.

FAQs About Brakes Services

Most auto shops can repair and service your brakes, including our technicians here at My Calgary Mechanic. If there is damage to your brake components, we take pictures and explain the work that needs to be done, so our customers know exactly the type of service they’re getting.

Generally, we recommend a brake inspection every 20,000kms. Most brake pads tend to wear out at 40,000kms, but this depends on your driving style, vehicle use, and if you frequently carry heavy loads in your car. Keep in mind that brake pads and rotors wear out quicker with repeated heavy braking.

A brake inspection includes the brake pedal, brake lines and hoses, brake fluid, rotors, pads, disc brakes or drum brakes. Each component is thoroughly checked and tested to make sure that they are in good condition.

Specifically, the brake pads and rotors can last between 3-7 years, depending on use and driving habits. Your owner’s manual will have the recommended maintenance service for your vehicle’s make and model.

Bring your car in for brake service and repair as soon as possible if you hear squealing, screeching, or grinding noise. Additionally, if your brake pads are less than a quarter-inch, it’s time to replace them.
