Our Genuine VW Brake Services:
Brake Pad Replacement
When it comes to brake pad replacement, we offer an efficient assortment of just what you need to replace worn brake pads while squeezing every mile of life from the pads. We provide a front brake pad replacement when the front pads are worn out and a rear brake pad replacement that features the rear brake pads exclusively. We also provide a full brake pad replacement including every brake pad as needed to meet our customers’ needs effectively.
Brake Fluid Exchange
Volkswagen recommends brake fluid inspections every 20,000 miles with a fluid exchange required at a 30,000-mile or 3 years interval, whichever arrives first. Putting off an exchange increases the risk of corrosion problems within the braking system and also threatens brake system performance when you need it most to stop in preventing a collision.
Brake Rotor Resurfacing or Replacement
Yet another good reason to inspect the brake system frequently is that it helps our customers know when rotor maintenance is due. Brake rotors need resurfacing to restore a smooth face where the rotor meets the brake pads, which maximizes resistance and braking performance. However, when rotors are grooved beyond what resurfacing can fix or warped, they will require a replacement service that removes the old rotors and installs original equipment brake rotors.
Warning Signs of a Brake System Problem
We strongly encourage our customers to follow Volkswagen’s recommendations for their model’s routine maintenance. We also encourage our customers to know the warning signs of a brake system problem that typically reflects a need for maintenance or repairs. Rest assured that the brake system needs to be at its best to preserve passenger safety, and scheduling service in response to any new warning signs is an excellent, safety-conscious decision.
Here are the most common warning signs of a brake system malfunction:
Noise
If braking comes with unusual sounds, it is a problem; noises are commonly described as screeching, squealing, rubbing, grinding, or other loud metal-on-metal noises.
Smell
A telltale sign of a braking malfunction is an intrusive pungent burning smell.
Feel
Strange sensations that affect driving experience can signal a brake problem, such as vibrations in the brake pedal or shaking in the steering wheel.
The VW Braking System Maintenance 101
Volkswagen engineers a world-class hydraulic brake system found on every VW car and SUV. Every time that a driver pushes the brake pedal to slow down or stop, the brake system activates to create the resistance necessary to stop the vehicle.
The VW brake system is a feat of modern engineering but requires some routine maintenance to keep it functioning at its best. As a vehicle accumulates higher miles, the brake system will need additional inspections and potentially repairs depending upon driving factors and mileage.
No matter what model you drive nor its brake system needs, our customers can rest assured that we provide quality brake services guaranteed to restore your vehicle’s brake system to peak performance at factory specifications.
