The Importance of Brake Service

Brake Service
It is more important than ever during the cold winter months to ensure your brakes are properly maintained when there is an increased risk of snow and ice on the roads. Poor brake maintenance reduces your vehicle’s longevity and performance which contributes to accidents, injuries, and road deaths.

What is a Brake service?

Brake service is a catch-all term for everything to do with your brakes. A brake inspection will be performed first to ensure that all components are in good working order. Next, your service technician will inspect your brake pads, rotors, clips, and Calipers to ensure that everything is in good working order. Finally, if any repairs or replacements are required, your technician will consult you to see if the repairs can be completed on the same day.

One of the most important systems in your vehicle is the braking system. Everyone wants to know that their brakes will not fail and that they can safely bring their vehicle to a stop.

The following are some signs that your brakes need to be inspected by a Master Mechanic.

  • The vehicle pulls to one side or the other when the brakes are applied
  • Brake grinding sensation
  • The brakes are slow to react
  • The brake light on the dashboard is red and flashing

Is a Brake Service Necessary?

A regular brake service is necessary to maintain the performance of a vehicle. To ensure a safer journey, you must follow specific rules to ensure all components are working properly.  Therefore, regular brake repair and maintenance is essential. Here are some of the top reasons why you need brake diagnostics:

Protection

Taking your vehicle in for proper servicing at least once a year is critical. But what if your car brakes make unusual noises while driving? This could be due to various factors that only a professional mechanic can address.

Furthermore, old, loose, low-quality car brakes can cause severe steering problems, leading to serious accidents. Ensure your car brakes are in good working order to keep you and your passengers safe.

It saves a lot of money for the future

When you take your car for service, it will continue to run smoothly for longer. A car with well-maintained brakes can last for many kilometers without needing to be replaced. Furthermore, a regular inspection ensures optimum safety.

Accidents, as we all know,  can cost both lives and a lot of money. If you want to protect yourself and others on the road, it’s best to service your car brakes regularly.

Extend the life of your brakes

Regular maintenance of your car brakes ensures that both the brakes and the vehicle have a long life. Always contact the best mechanics, and don’t be afraid to spend money to ensure the safety of your vehicle. Remember that it is your car brakes that keep you safe from danger.

Anthony Smith Mar 3, 2024

True Auto Care has been my vehicle repair service provider for more than a decade. They have earned my trust with ever repair, big or small, and they treat me with respect every time. I value their work and I feel confident in their advice and in their repair services. This is what a family business is all about.

Kelly Waterhouse Oct 10, 2020

Good and timely service! I was called about a worn serpentine belt, given the price and asked if I wanted True Auto to repair. I did, and they charged what was quoted. I recommend True Auto! 👍

Jack Moesker Mar 3, 2016

Nice staff, they did great work. I had called for a quote earlier in the week. When the work was done, they tried to make me pay almost double until I had brought up the quote they gave me. I paid the price I was quoted for. Could be an honest mistake, but almost cost me.

vinny Mar 3, 2024

Service work completed as agreed and very timely. Well done!!

Kenneth Lindsay Mar 3, 2023

The staff is very knowledgeable and understands my needs. When working on the car they informed me of other issues that needed to be done and gave me an estimate of the additional cost before proceeding with the work. I am satisfied with their work. Bob Skeoch

Great service and very helpful.

Moe Jacobs Nov 11, 2023

Was driving and got a chip from a rock hitting the windshield. They got me in and out within 15 minutes of walking in. Was super friendly and helpful, taking me on the spot and ensuring that my chip wouldn't spread worse. They spoke me through the options I had also instead of insisting on one type of repair. It's barely even noticeable and the majority of the damage has faded from their work. (note these photos are "up close" shots, from further back you hardly see anything! 98% better then it was!)

A shout out to Jenna - this afternoon I needed a tire pressure sensor replaced because air was quickly escaping from the tire. Jenna quickly arranged the required fix and I was back on the road within 30 mins, so from my perspective Jenna and staff definitely earned this 5 star rating.
