Volkswagen Brake Service at Jack Volkswagen of Saco in Saco, ME: Let Your Local Experts Care for Your Brakes
Your brakes are actually one of the most important systems in your Volkswagen car or SUV. If they are not working properly, you risk greater damage and a serious accident. See our expert mechanics at Jack Volkswagen of Saco in Saco, ME for all of your Biddeford, ME-area brake repair and maintenance needs.
Parts of Your Brake System
One of the first things to know about most any brake service you need on your Volkswagen is to know the names of some of the main parts of your brake system. That will help you visualize what is going on when we work with you in the service department. Your brakes stop because brake pads are pushed onto a rotor. You can see your brake rotors between the front wheels of your Volkswagen. They are shiny and have large disks. They spin as you drive. The brake calipers hold the brake pads above, but not touching, the brake rotors when you are driving around Scarborough, ME. When you are ready to stop, the brake calipers force the brake pads onto the rotors as they are spinning. This stops your vehicle.
Signs You May Need Brake Service
Common signs of brake problems include:
- Brakes squeal when engaged
- Vehicle pulls to one side when brakes engaged
- Brake pedal does not seem firm
- Brake pedal vibrates when brakes engaged
- Brakes take too long to stop vehicle
These brake symptoms mean you need to act immediately to get them diagnosed. Your brakes must be fully functional for you to safely drive on our Biddeford, ME-area roads. Don't wait to schedule service if you are reading this article because you have any one of these brake system warning signs.
Even if the problem seems minor today, a smaller, less expensive issue can become more expensive if you wait too long to schedule brake service and/or an inspection. One example of how a smaller issue can lead to a far larger and more expensive issue is if your brake pads have worn down. Replacing your brake pads is not an expensive procedure. If you wait too long, you could damage your rotors. Damaged rotors will amount to a far greater repair bill.
