Brake repair and brake replacement
Brake pads and shoes are considered wear items by every manufacturer, and will wear down over time. The other components in the brake system will require eventual replacement for performance and safety reasons.
Warning signs that your brakes need attention
Strange noises or high-pitched squeaking when braking
Unusual shimmying, shaking, or shuddering when you apply the brakes
It takes longer for your car to stop than usual.
The steering wheel wiggles in your hands when coming to a stop
The need to pump the pedal to get better stopping power
Uneven pulling to one side
Some of these conditions could be generated from improper installation, low quality replacement parts, or driving habits. Some could also mean there is a problem that needs immediate attention. So stay on the safe side and bring your vehicle to Jeffcoats Automotive and have our ASE certified technicians do a complete brake system inspection on your vehicle.
Why is it important to get my brakes serviced?
Properly working brakes are essential to vehicle safety and reliability. When you depress your brake pedal and stop your tires from rotating, you need the confidence to know that your vehicle will come to a complete and precise stop.
Brake pads, shoes, drums, and rotors are made of materials that wear down from heat and friction, even under normal driving conditions
Over time, these same wear issues can also affect the brake’s hydraulic components including calipers, wheel cylinders, and brake hoses
Failure of these brake components can lead to costly repairs and loss of braking
How often should I get my brakes checked?
It’s important to have your brakes checked at least once a year to keep them responsive and to help avoid costly replacements. However, you should have your brakes checked immediately if you experience any of the following:
Your brakes are continuously squeaking, squealing, or grinding
Your brake or anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light comes on
Your car jerks or pulls to one side when braking
You need to pump your brakes for them to work properly
Your brake pedal feels unusually soft and spongy or hard
You notice brake fluid leaks around the wheels or engine compartment
Brake system fluid exchange service
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air naturally. The moisture builds up and can freeze during cold weather, causing brake systems to fail. Contaminated brake fluid can lead to corrosion and pitting to vital brake system components such as ABS actuator, calipers, wheel cylinders, metal brake lines. Most vehicle manufacturers will recommend a brake fluid service around every two years. Jeffcoats Automotive has ASE certified technicians that will perform a complete brake fluid flush on your vehicle that complies with your manufacturer fluid type and service interval.
Do you need to get your rotors or drums machined?
It is recommended that every time your brake pads or shoes are repalced, you should have the rotors either machined or replaced. Do to the extreme heat that todays brake pads produce, over time rotors and drums develop imperfection on the braking surface that need removed so the new pads will mate properly to the rotors.
Due to the extreme heat that today's brake systems generate the rotor surfaces may develop:
Grooves along surface of rotors causing pads to vibrate excessively,
Cracks in rotor surface.
Hot spots in rotor surface.
Glazed rotor surface, causing increased brake effort.
Build up of metal on edges, causing uneven pad wear.
Machining the brake rotors to return the braking surface back to new condition will ensure proper mating of your new brake pads to the rotors and will gaurantee against any unwanted noises, or vibrations.
