Brake Service in El Paso
Once we’ve got your car running at its best, the next crucial step is ensuring it can stop safely. At Mobile Mechanic Pros of El Paso, we know that brake problems can sneak up on you, so let’s go over some common signs that it might be time for a brake service.
Signs & Symptoms
Here are some red flags to watch for:
It’s been over 12,000 miles or a year since your brakes were last inspected.
You’re nearing or have exceeded the manufacturer’s recommended mileage for brake fluid changes.
The warning light on your dashboard is lit up, indicating brake wear.
You hear grinding or squealing noises when you brake.
Your car pulls to one side when you press the brake pedal.
It takes longer than usual for your car to come to a stop.
The brake pedal feels soft, spongy, or has a delay before responding.
Your foot goes all the way to the floor when you press the brake pedal, or you need to apply extra pressure to get it to engage.
Brakes are one of the most critical components of your vehicle, so it’s essential to pay attention to them and get them serviced when needed.
Service and Inspection
During a brake service, our skilled mobile mechanics will check:
The wear and condition of the front and rear brake pads.
The wear on the rotors.
The condition of the brake drums.
The brake fluid level and quality.
The parking brake (E-brake) functionality.
After these checks, we’ll let you know if any of the following services are necessary:
Installing new brake pads or shoes
Resurfacing (if possible) or replacing brake rotors or drums.
Changing the brake fluid and bleeding the system.
Replacing brake lines, hoses, and other components.
Brake Fluid Change
Brake fluid can become contaminated over time due to moisture buildup, which can lead to erosion and decreased performance. During our brake service, we’ll perform a strip dip brake test to check for contamination and determine if a brake fluid change is needed.
Brake Bleeding
If your brake fluid level drops due to a leak or after any brake work, air can enter the system. This air causes that spongy feeling in the brake pedal, and it needs to be bled out for your brakes to function correctly.
These are just a few common symptoms to keep an eye on. Staying alert to your vehicle’s needs can save you from bigger issues down the road.
