Why are good brakes so important?
There are many parts of your Jeep Grand Cherokee or Ram 1500 that are vital, but one of the most important is your braking system. When your brakes are compromised, your safety, the safety of your passengers, and other drivers on the road are impacted. There are a number of parts that come together to make your braking system work correctly. These parts include brake pads, brake fluid, rotors, and calipers. Properly maintaining and servicing these parts ensures that your brakes work properly.
How will I know if my brakes need to be serviced?
Your Dodge Challenger or Durango will quickly let you know if the brakes need to be serviced or replaced entirely. Signs to look out for include:
- Your vehicle is struggling to come to a full stop.
- A brake pedal that feels like it is “squishing” or too soft when you apply the brakes. It could also feel too hard to press for some.
- You can hear heavy grinding or screeching noises when you press the brake pedal.
- You notice metal flakes falling off or rust peeling off your brakes.
- The brake system warning light turns on in your driver information panel.
What should I do to keep my brakes in good condition?
In addition to having our mechanics inspect your brake system and top off the brake fluid as needed, you can take care of your brakes in between appointments. We suggest that you avoid slamming on the brakes when stopping and riding them to a stop. Both of these actions will quickly reduce the lifespan of your brakes.
