Brakes are essential to the safety of your vehicle, enabling you to stop quickly when you need to. Because of this, it is crucial that you keep your brakes properly maintained over the years. There are a number of services you’ll need to keep your brakes functioning at their best including routine maintenance and repairs. At Pappas Toyota, we provide Toyota certified service quality and offer all of the brake system services that your Toyota might need.
Brake Services
Brake Fluid Exchange – When you have your brake pads or rotors replaced, your technician will typically flush your brake fluid as well. This will remove any debris that has built up in the fluid, which can create inefficiencies and other problems in your system over time. With clean brake fluid, your brake system can operate most efficiently. Learn More
Brake Pad Replacement – As you use your brakes, the brake pads apply pressure to the rotors to help bring your wheels to a stop. However, this creates a lot of wear on the brake pads, so they are expected to wear down over time. Depending on the specific types of brake pads you have and your driving habits, you’ll typically need to replace them about every 25,000 to 50,000 miles. Replacing your brake pads frequently will minimize damage to your rotors. Your front brake pads will also likely need to be replaced prior to the rear set because of regular wear and tear. Learn More
Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement – When your brake pads press on the rotors, they create wear on them. Rotors are much more durable than brake pads, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t still get worn out. In some cases, resurfacing may be all you need to get your rotors back in good shape. This involves filing down the surface to make it smooth once again. If your rotors are incredibly worn or you have already had resurfacing done, it will likely be time to replace them.
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.
