Brake Service and Repair at Cloquet Automotive

3/18/2014

7 Comments

 
Cloquet Automotive provides a wide range of repair services for both import and domestic automotive brake systems. Every auto technician at our shop in Cloquet, Minnesota, knows it is important that you understand how the brake system in your car or truck plays a vital role in keeping you, and your passengers, safe. The components in the automotive brake system are not designed to last for the life of your vehicle and are bound to wear out over time as you drive around. The brake pads (aka brake shoes) are the most common brake replacement service we do here at Cloquet Automotive. This is because every time you depress your brake pedal the brake pad strikes against the brake rotor (aka drum) causing the material to wear down over time. If the brake pads are allowed to wear down for too long the underlying metal surface of the pads will contact your brakes' metal rotors. This is when most will start to hear a grinding or high pitch screech when your brake pedal is applied.  Ignoring your brakes at this  point will not only result in an unsafe situation, and can result in additional service to your vehicles brake system which will most likely increase your brake repair cost.

Our auto mechanics stress to our customers that knowing when to have the brake system in your car or truck serviced is vital in order to keep brake service and repair costs to a minimum. Simply, being aware of the warning signs of potential brake failure can save you money on costly brake repair expenses for your particular vehicle. Your very own senses of hearing, touch, and sight can be of a substantial assistance to you. Some common indications of brake problems may include:
  • The appearance of the brake warning light in your dashboard
  • Brake fluid that is either low or dirty
  • Grinding or screeching noises (as previously noted above)
  • A "spongy" feeling when applying your brake pedal.

Our mechanics at Cloquet Automotive are trained and certified to service all types of front and rear brake systems. When bringing your vehicle in for a brake service or repair one of our trained auto technicians will provide you with a thorough brake inspection to make certain both your front and rear brakes are working properly. Additionally, we can provide you with a brake problem diagnosis that will give you service options and a brake repair cost estimate. Our mechanics specialize in everything from:

  • Brake rotor servicing
  • Brake cylinder replacement
  • Brake pad replacement

It is very dangerous to drive with damaged vehicle, hence the condition of the different components of the brake should be evaluated at a regular interval and if damaged, then it should be repaired in time to prevent ant types of unfortunate situation from happening. Brake fluid plays important role in the over all performance of the vehicle and should be inspected on a daily basis in order to ensure it's effectiveness.

I agree that different components of the braking system including the brake fluid should be inspected regularly. Such kinds of inspection could be very useful to identify mechanical issues associated with the above mentioned components and repair such issues in time to enhance the efficiency of the braking system. Everyone should know the warning signs related to an abnormal braking system. Such kinds of knowledge could be very useful to identify mechanical problems in the braking system and repair such problems in time to keep the brakes in working order.

Brakes are important components in a vehicle. When brakes fail or become damaged, accidents may occur. So they must be serviced at a regular interval. Sometimes we hear unusual noises such as screeching, grinding or clicking noises while applying the brakes. At times vehicle pulls to one side while braking. The vibrations through the brake pedal while applying brakes, low pedal, hard pedal are other signs which indicate that car brakes need to be repaired. Apart from this, we should regularly inspect the quality and quantity of brake fluid.

Brake is an important safety component in a vehicle. Damaged brakes are the cause of severe accidents. So brakes should be well maintained to function properly. Some common indicators of brake problems are-appearance of brake warning light in the dashboard, brake fluid is either low or appears dirty, grinding or screeching noise coming from the brakes, spongy or soft brake pedal, vehicle pulling to one side while applying brakes. When we notice any of these warning signs, we should visit a good auto repair center for brake repair.
