Can brake service help?
Your brakes are an essential part of your Nissan, and without working brakes, your Nissan won't be able to stop in time! Bad brakes can cause anything from a minor fender bender to a major accident, and neither is worth the risk. When you get regular brake maintenance here at Reedman-Toll Nissan of Drexel Hill, it will help ensure that your brakes will work every time you press down on the pedal. Because your brake pads deteriorate gradually, if you wait for an extended period of time between replacing them, it will end up costing you a lot of money. Once your pads start to wear, your brake system will have a lot of stress put on it. This includes the rotors, drums, and calipers. If any of these systems become damaged, things can get expensive. Therefore, it's essential to have your brakes looked at by our professionals here at Reedman-Toll Nissan of Drexel Hill and get maintenance done when problems begin to show!
Do you need new brakes?
The good news is, it's not hard to tell when your Nissans brake pads are starting to wear down. If they are starting to wear, you'll hear it! Your brakes are equipped with a metal shim, known as an indicator, and it will let off a high-pitched squealing or screeching sound to warn you when your brake pads are nearing the end. Another sign that your brakes aren't working is they are not stopping as quickly. Whether they are pulsating or taking longer to engage, you need to have them looked at by our experts here at Reedman-Toll Nissan of Drexel Hill! If you hear a grinding, metal-on-metal sound, it's likely that other components of your brake system have been affected.
Check brake fluid
Your Nissan's brake system relies on hydraulic fluid, called brake fluid. The brake fluid flows through the brake lines and provides the power and force necessary to bring your Nissan to a complete stop. It's essential to have our experts here at Reedman-Toll Nissan of Drexel Hill drain your brake fluid every once in a while as it absorbs the moisture from the air and degrades over time. Changing your brake fluid at the recommended intervals will ensure that your brake system functions. Brake fluid changes should be done every one or two years, but different Nissans will have different recommendations for the best performance!
Replace worn-out parts
When your brakes get excessively used, you need to replace some braking system elements, which might be an excellent opportunity to upgrade to some higher performance and specialty parts. You can also replace your stock disks with slotted disks designed to provide you with more heat resistance or ceramic pads that are much quieter and can produce less brake dust. When you upgrade or replace your parts, it will significantly improve your longevity and the performance of the braking system.
