MAINTENANCE
BRAKES
​
How can YOU tell when I need a brake service or brake repair?
​
-
The brake pedal can be depressed nearly to the floor.
-
You hear a squealing or other unusual noise when you apply the brakes. Some brands of brake pads have a built-in device that produces a high-pitched squeal when the brake pads need replacing.
-
The vehicle pulls to one side when you apply the brakes.
-
You feel a grinding or bumpy sensation as you come to a stop.
-
In general, if there is something about your brakes that is making you uncomfortable, you should have them inspected.

WHEELS & SUSPENSION
​
The importance of your suspension system - including your steering, tires and wheels - is often overlooked until it's too late. Your suspension has three significant roles, stable steering and handling, keeping your tires firmly on the road and maintaining passenger comfort. With a regular safety check of your suspension parts for many miles to come you can maintain peace of mind while traveling.
