Brake Inspection and Replacement Services

Keeping your brakes in good condition is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your vehicle’s and its passengers’ safety. Regular brake inspections can prevent more time in the shop down the road. If your brakes feel “off,” you may need brake replacement services.

Brake Inspection Service

Kwik Kar offers free brake inspections on a drop-in basis. We’ll inspect your brake pads and rotors for signs of damage and check your brake fluid level. We also check brake fluid levels with every oil change. 

We’ll let you know if we find any issues during your free brake inspection and also recommend to get a wheel alignment whenever you install new tires for optimal tire life and overall safety on the road.

Do My Brakes Need Replacement?

There are several telltale indications you might need a brake inspection:

Your Check Brake light is on.

Unusual noises occur when you apply the brakes.

When pressing down on the brake pedal, you feel a pulsating/vibrating sensation.

Your brake pedal offers less resistance than usual or even pushes down to the floor.

The vehicle “pulls” to one side or the other when braking.

Brake Replacement Service

Participating Kwik Kar locations offer brake replacement services. These services may include resurfacing rotors, brake pad replacement, or cleaning, adjusting, or lubricating brake system parts. Brake fluid levels can alter your braking system’s operation, and a good rule of thumb is to replace brake fluid whenever you replace brake pads.

There are many causes for brake damage or failure, many of which boil down to inadequate preventive maintenance. Properly caring for your brakes means maintaining recommended brake fluid levels and arranging regular brake inspections to check brake pads and rotors. Regular wear and tear on brakes worsen during extreme weather conditions (and corrosion from road salt). 

Like most things in life, if you take good care of your brakes, they’ll perform better and last longer. Drop by your nearest Kwik Kar center for a free brake inspection or take advantage of any of our engine services
