Service guide

Brakes

Brake service begins with checking the complete system, rather than assuming a noise means new pads.

What to discuss with the shop

New grinding, vibration or a change in pedal feel deserves professional attention. If braking feels unsafe, stop driving and arrange help.

Questions worth asking

  • Which measurements support the repair?
  • Does the estimate include rotors, hardware and fluid?
  • What is the parts and labor warranty?

Service scope varies by vehicle and facility. Confirm the exact work and the written estimate before authorizing repairs.
