As your Ford dealer, we want you to have a safe driving experience. Good brakes are an essential part of this experience, as they allow you to control your speed. Your braking system can suffer wear and tear, and you’ll need a brake repair with us. These are a few signs that your brakes could have a problem.


3 Signs You Could Use a Brake Repair at Your Ford Dealer

You’re Past Time for a Service

Your Ford requires regular services to keep it in good working condition. A brake service is due every 10,000 to 15,000 miles. Your car service manual will have the exact time for your model. A brake service allows our technicians to thoroughly check your braking system. The checklist includes the calipers, pads, hoses, brake lines, and the brake master cylinder.

If your service is overdue, parts may start to show signs of wear. Your brake fluid needs to be changed regularly to ensure it provides the hydraulic power essential for the system to operate. Worn brakes can put pressure on other car systems including the tires, axles, and engine. Once we’ve serviced your brakes, you have the confidence of knowing they’re in perfect working shape.
