Brake Repair & Replacement

At Berks Auto Repair, our brake repair and replacement keep you safe while you drive. The most important part of vehicle safety is having good brakes. Whether you press your brakes lightly or firmly, they need to stop your car immediately and smoothly. With our state–of-the art brake system diagnostics, we provide better brake services, so you can always trust your vehicle on the road.

Why Do You Need Performance Brake Upgrades?

Of all car parts, brakes get used the most and are probably the first to show signs of wear. Frequent driving can lead to damage to your brake pads and rotors, which can heat up and gradually corrode. When you ignore brake maintenance, you are not only putting yourself at risk but also those traveling with you.

  • Ignoring the brake problems of your vehicle could lead to:
  • A need for extra time to come to a stop.
  • There is a higher chance of accidents.
  • Expensive maintenance when the parts are worn out
  • Causing brake pedal sensitivity issues leads to damage to the other components of the brake system, such as rotors and calipers.

Having your car brake service regularly and fixed on time helps maintain your vehicle’s safety, good performance, and ability to be on the road.

Here Are the Symptoms of Worn-out Brake Pads

It is best to regularly check your vehicle and take note of any early signs that could indicate it is at high risk. We recommend that our customers visit us immediately if they are experiencing any car problems. These are some warning signs you’ll want to watch for:

1. Sounds That Sound Like Squeaking

Noises that are high-pitched when you brake usually indicate that your brake pads are nearing replacement. As an early signal that your wear parts are degrading, manufacturers create this sound through wear indicators.

2. Grinding Noise When Braking—Solutions Required

If you hear a loud grinding sound, your brake pads are most likely worn, and the caliper is making contact with the rotor. You must address it immediately to minimize further harm.

3. Strange or Shaky Vibrations While Braking

If your vehicle shakes when you brake or your steering feels bumpy, there’s a chance your rotors are not properly aligned. This situation makes stopping power difficult and requires prompt attention.

4. Brake Pedal Feels Different (Soft and Spongy)

When you notice a defect in your brake pedal, it will sink or become debilitated, which indicates a leak in the lines or air in your brake system that needs prompt attention.

5. Brake Light

Anytime your brake light comes on in the dashboard, have your car inspected by a mechanic. You may receive this warning sign as brake fluid replacement is needed, the pads are worn, or other problems that exist with the system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. How to fix spongy brakes?

If your brakes feel spongy, it may imply either air in the brake lines or low brake fluid. Our team at Berks addresses spongy brakes by flushing the brake lines, inspecting your brake system and checking your brake fluid.

Q2. Is it possible to get my Electric vehicle (EV) brake servicing at your place?

Berks does provide a qualified electric vehicle (EV) brake service. Using EVs means you have to know about their unique regenerative braking and use the appropriate tools. The technicians we have are prepared to safely and properly handle EV brake systems.

Because they are large and heavy, SUVs usually need extra-strong braking systems. Our best work with brakes for SUVs covers thick pads, looking at the condition of the braking rotors and inspecting the hydraulic brakes for safe operation.

Q4. How frequently should I take care of my hydraulic brake system maintenance?

Every year or two, we suggest you get your hydraulic brake system checked or follow the maintenance guidelines in your manual.

Doing regular maintenance at Berks stops brake failure and improves how your car drives.
