Brakes really are so critical, and we won't rest until our customers understand everything we do that can benefit them in the long run. So, keep reading down below, schedule a service appointment, and let's keep your Hyundai in excellent condition!
How often do brakes need to be serviced?
Before we get into specific brake services, or how to know if your brakes are experiencing problems, we want to share some blanket statements about brakes on cars. Depending on driving patterns, brake parts, climate, and the vehicle itself, inspection of your brakes should be happening every 10,000-12,000 miles. This can obviously vary, and things like brake pads or shoes can even last up to 80,000 miles without any issues. Brake fluid, another key component to the brake system, usually lasts 2-5 years. Again, it's important to note that all of this depends on a few key factors and it can vary for each individual person. The best thing you can do is check the owner's manual for your Hyundai and go by what is suggested in there!
How can I tell if I'm having brake problems?
There are many different ways that you are likely to figure out that your brakes are not functioning the way that they should. Some of the key things to listen out for are just the sounds that could be coming from your vehicle. Is there squeaking? Grinding? Another noise that you just can't quite place? This could easily mean that the brake pads are worn down, that there is now rust interrupting the braking process, or something else entirely. We also want you to pay attention when you press down on your brakes, as a delay in pedal response is incredibly dangerous, and most definitely an issue that should cause you to schedule an appointment immediately.
What brake services are offered?
When it comes to giving you what you need, no service center in the area is as reliable for your Hyundai. We make sure that we can diagnose any brake issues you could be having by checking the brake light, repairing any brake line issues, flushing or exchanging the brake fluid, replacing the rotor or drum, and completely replacing the brake pad or shoe. Throughout, we'll make sure that we are only using OEM Hyundai parts, which is all you need to know in terms of how long they will last you in the future.
