Front/Rear Brake Repair at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Sandy

When your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram needs brake repair, we invite you to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Sandy for prompt and attentive service. The brakes of your car come comprised of an intricate series of parts, from the lines to the rotors and the fluid which makes it all happen. Each of these parts require routine maintenance and repair, so let us answer some of your questions on front/rear brake repair at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Sandy.

What Can I Do on My Own to Maintain my Brakes?

The brake fluid and pads represent two of the most integral parts of your brakes, and also the easiest to inspect. The brake fluid you will find underneath the hood and clearly labeled, with markings of where fluid should get filled. If you run low on brake fluid, we recommend ceasing driving for the most part and contacting our service team to order genuine MOPAR® brake fluid. The brake pads should measure approximately 1/4-inch or more in thickness, which you can determine simply by removing the wheels. If they measure any less than 1/4 inch, you should order new brake pads immediately.

As an extra preventative maintenance tip, to preserve the integrity of the pads, try to avoid "riding" the brakes by holding them down indefinitely before a stop. Pushing them down and releasing them as needed helps the brakes cool down and preserves the pads longer.

When Should I have my Front/Rear Brakes Maintained?

You should inspect the brake fluid typically around every six months, but most parts will wear down around 30,000 miles. Your owner's manual includes a service schedule with a more accurate time frame.

What Are Some Signs my Brakes Need Repairs?

The most crucial sign comes from brake warning lights. However, you may also feel strange noises like squealing, screeching, or grinding - these could present signs of warped rotors or worn brake pads. Likewise, if you feel the car, truck, or SUV shaking when you brake, you should schedule a front/rear brake repair immediately.
