Yes! To prolong the life of your vehicle's braking system, consider these preventive maintenance tips:
Avoid sudden stopping and aggressive driving, which can wear down brake components faster.
Keep your brake fluid at the recommended level and check it regularly for clarity and contamination.
Inspect your brakes regularly, ideally every six months or based on your vehicle manufacturer's guidelines.
Listen for any unusual sounds when applying brakes, as early detection of problems can prevent more extensive damage.
Clean and remove any dirt or debris from brake components if accessible, as this can improve performance.
Several factors, including air in the brake lines, a brake fluid leak, worn brake pads, or a failing master cylinder, can cause a soft or spongy brake pedal. Our technicians will first inspect the brake system during repair to diagnose the specific cause. If air is present, we will bleed the brake lines to remove it. If there's a fluid leak, we will identify the source of the leak and repair or replace any damaged components. Any worn parts will be addressed as needed to restore proper braking function.
