At Ram Country Chrysler Jeep Dodge Fiat of Del Rio, we offer brake inspection services in our service department. While there are numerous additional parts of the brake system that our certified technicians examine, we primarily check your brake pads and brake rotors' condition. Our technicians check the brake systems for signs of wear and damage to its parts. Additionally, they examine the condition of the brake fluid to make sure that the levels are proper and the fluid is clean..

Brake pads are the parts of the brake system that tend to wear out frequently. Squeaking noises coming from under your vehicle any time you press the brakes are common signs that you need new brake pads. However, vibrations on the steering wheel or biased steering under braking conditions are additional signs that your brake pads may need to be serviced.

Brake fluid, like oil and transmission fluid, has to be routinely changed. It is suggested that you have a brake fluid exchange done on your vehicle every two years. However, your brake fluid change routine will depend on how much you drive your vehicle and how you drive. Strange smells, weird brake feel, or improper brake function are a few signs that you may need to change your brake fluid. During a brake fluid exchange, our technicians will flush the old brake fluid from your vehicle's brake system and replace it with the fluid that MOPAR recommends for your model.

Brake rotors provide a surface for brake pads to hold against when a driver is braking. As a result of the frictional contact between brake pads and brake rotors, the wheels of a vehicle can then slow down. This friction, however, wears down both the brake pads and brake rotors over time. While brake pads tend to wear down quicker than brake rotors, brake rotors need to be resurfaced as they age and are used more on a vehicle.
