Healthy Brakes are Happy Brakes. Let Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Pocatello Keep Everything Running Smoothly

We often take our brakes for granted. The light turns red, our foot reaches over to the left and the brakes slowly carry us to a full halt. We expect it to work just like we expect our car to run. We never notice anything wrong until it no longer works. But keeping an open ear and eye for the signs of brake failure, can make the world a difference. Squealing, clicking or grinding when braking, pulling to one side, pulsation or excessive drag during acceleration--all are signs of a potential issue. And all can more than easily be resolved with our help.

What are the signs that my vehicle's brakes need changing?

There are several warning signs that your brakes are wearing out and need to be replaced. These include squealing, screeching, or grinding noises when braking. If the brake pedal feels soft or spongy, the car pulls to one side when braking, and the brake warning light turning on are also indicators. If you notice any of these signs, have your brakes checked out right away at a brake service center. Drivers in Idaho Falls should look for a reputable local brake shop to have their brakes inspected.

How can I tell if my rotor is bad?

Rotors are a critical part of the braking system. Bad rotors can cause pulsing or vibrations in the brake pedal, squealing noises, and visible scoring or gouges on the rotor surface. If not replaced, worn rotors can severely impact braking performance. Soda Springs residents should visit a brake shop if they suspect their rotors are going bad.

Do I always need rotors when I get new brakes?

It depends on the condition of your rotors. In some cases, the rotors can be resurfaced rather than replaced if they are not too worn. However, most of the time, when getting brake pad replacement, it's best to get new rotors to ensure optimal braking performance and safety. Ask your brake service technician to inspect your rotors when getting your brake pads replaced in Chubbuck.

How long does it take to do a full brake job?

A full brake job, including pad and rotor replacement on both front and rear wheels, generally takes one to two hours for most vehicles. However, this can vary depending on the make and model. It's best to plan for your vehicle to be at the brake repair shop for at least a half day to ensure the work is done right.
