Mopar Brake Service

Most people know that delaying essential vehicle repairs cause more harm than good in the long run.

Mopar Brake Services in Topeka, KS

When you get behind the wheel of any vehicle, you have a responsibility to yourself and every other driver on the road to be as safe as you can while getting from Point A to Point B. Of all the systems in your vehicle, one of the most important when it comes to maintaining safe operation and control is the braking system. Good brakes are key to staying safe and are part of every system check and routine maintenance we conduct here at Briggs Dodge Ram of Topeka, KA. If you live in or around the Lawrence and St. Marys areas, or in Topeka and the neighboring communities, we invite you to come to see how we can help you keep your vehicle in great working order.

 

Certified Brake Services:

  • Brake Fluid Exchange - Brake fluid transfers and amplifies the force of your foot on the brakes to the calipers; as a hygroscopic fluid, it will absorb moisture and eventually need to be replaced as it becomes less effective.

  • Brake Pad Replacement - The brake pads consist of a metal backing and a softer brake lining that is designed to wear down; when this lining gets thin, it's time to have your brake pads replaced.

  • Rotor Resurfacing - The brake rotors may become glazed or warped well before they wear out; we can resurface the rotors, smoothing their surface to help you avoid paying for entirely new parts before it's necessary.
  • Caliper Service - The brake calipers squeeze together to push the brake pads against the brake rotors, and they will regularly need to be cleaned, lubricated, and inspected to ensure that they are providing the necessary precision.

Signs of Bad Brakes

When it comes to brake issues, sooner is always better than later, so catching it early and getting it fixed is essential. Here are some warning signs that may indicate you have brakes that are going bad:

  • Brakes squeal or make a loud noise when applies
  • Brakes seem to slip or grab when stopping over longer distances
  • There is a tugging sensation on the steering wheel when braking
  • It takes longer to get the vehicle to stop or requires more effort to stop
  • Brake pedal either feels very soft or very hard to apply
  • Vehicle pulls or jerks to the side when stopping suddenly

If you notice any of these warning signs, it is best to get your vehicle checked out sooner rather than later so the issue can be identified, diagnosed, and fixed.

Why Putting Off Service is Bad

The fact of the matter is a simple repair for a basic problem can quickly get out of hand and grow into a major money trap! It does not take long for a simple problem to turn into a major issue that takes twice as long and ten times as much money to fix. This is why keeping up with routine brake systems checks and regular maintenance is an essential part of the services we provide our customers at Briggs Dodge Ram.
