Frequently Asked Questions About Brake Repair

How can I tell if my brakes are in need of repair?

While it may take a longer or shorter time for your breaks to wear down, you should be aware of the warning signs of old or outdated brakes when commuting to and from Erlanger. If you feel wobbling, vibration, or scraping when you push the brake pedal at an intersection in Fort Mitchell, it is a sure-fire sign your brakes need inspection. Other symptoms include burning smells while driving, squealing sounds from breaks, and the break light on your dashboard.

How often do brake pads need replacing?

Typically, the brake pads of your Subaru or used car near Fort Thomas should be replaced every 50,000 miles or so. However, if you drive in a commute with more frequent stopping or you simply enjoy driving your Subaru SUV on the trails more, you may want to consider getting the brakes inspected sooner. If you do not drive as often or have a smoother commute, you may be able to wait up to 70,000 moles before requiring new brake pads.

What other parts of the brakes may need replacing?

The brakes on your new or used Subaru run in an intricate system, which includes brake fluid to send to the pads as well as calipers to provide traction and stopping power to the pads and wheels themselves. These systems are connected to the pedal through a brake line which runs through the vehicle.
