Brake Repair at Evans INFINITI of Dayton in Centerville Ohio
Some people leave a lot of following distance between them and the vehicles in front of them. Others like to go fast and ride the tails of those in front of them. While more important for the latter case, well-functioning and well-maintained brakes are hugely important for stopping quickly and avoiding collisions.
Why Brake Repair is Important
Being able to stop quickly, either because you were following too closely to the vehicle in front of you or because you need to avoid a sudden obstacle in the road, is critical for vehicle safety. If you can’t rely on your brakes to stop the momentum of your vehicle quickly, you are asking for trouble. This is why brake care is so critical.
When You Should Get Brake Repair
Brakes generally last up to 50,000 before they need to be replaced, but there are signs that you may need to get them replaced earlier. Some signs include brakes that make noise, like a grinding or a high-pitched squealing. Other signs might be a spongy brake pedal or a vehicle that won’t stop as responsively as you are used to.
The Brake Repair Process
Step 1
Our top service technicians at Evans INFINITI of Dayton will check the brake fluid level and remove the bolts, the caliper, and the old brake pads and rotor.
Step 2
After the old brake components are removed, the technician will clean the rotor mounting surface and the new rotor, then install the new rotor, hardware, brake pads, and caliper.
Step 3
Once everything is reinstalled, technicians will check the brake fluid reservoir, pump the brakes, then recheck the reservoir to make sure that no brake fluid is leaking.
Cost of Brake Repair
Factors like the material of your brake pads and your type of vehicle can affect the cost, but a brake pad replacement generally costs between $150 to $300 per axle. Our service team can provide more detailed pricing, and you can check out our currently available Service Specials online!
