Get your brakes services at Chrysler of Culpeper
Your Jeep's brake pads will typically need to be serviced by our professionals here at Chrysler of Culpeper every 25,000 to 70,000 miles, but that will depend on your driving habits, the model of your Jeep, and a few other factors. You can usually find the best service schedule in your Jeeps owner's manual. While your owner's manual is a handy resource guide, there are other ways to tell when your brakes need to be serviced. In this article, we will cover how to tell when your brakes, rotors, and pads need to be maintained or replaced, and once you are done reading, we hope that you schedule your brake service with us here at Chrysler of Culpeper!
You Have Poor Brake Performance
This is perhaps one of the biggest signs that your breaks need to be serviced. If you are driving and your brake pads are starting to feel mushy or unresponsive while you are trying to stop or slow down, there could be a few issues with your brake fluid, or you might have a leak in your brake hose. In addition, if your Jeep's brakes feel responsive, but you notice that your brakes are performing noticeably worse, such as taking longer to come to a complete stop, your brakes may be completely worn out, and the pads will need to be replaced. If your brake pads need to be replaced or your brakes need to be serviced in any way, be sure to head down to Chrysler of Culpeper, and we will take care of your Jeep!
Your Brakes are Squeaking
If your brakes are squealing or squeaking, then this is the most common sign that they will need to be replaced. Keep in mind that your brake pads have a built-in metal shim that will become exposed when they are worn down. As you continue to drive on them, the brake pad material will eventually be destroyed through constant braking. Over time, the metal shim will become exposed to the brake rotor, emitting a high-pitched squealing or squeaking noise when the rotors contact it. If you notice that your brakes are squeaky, then you need to head down to Chrysler of Culpeper to have your brake pads replaced as soon as you can.
Your Jeep Pulls When Braking
Are you noticing that your Jeep is starting to pull to one side when you are braking? Then this is a clear sign that your brakes will need to be maintained. This might signify that your brake pads might be wearing unevenly due to improper alignment and rotation. It also could be possible that some debris has built up in your brake fluid, which means it will need to be flushed and replaced by our experts here at Chrysler of Culpeper. No matter the problem, our highly trained professionals will quickly diagnose it and fix it in no time!
A Lot of Vibration When Braking
If your Jeep is beginning to vibrate a lot when you are braking, this is a sign that your brake rotors are warped. The brake rotors are what press your brake pads against the wheel and cause your Jeep to stop. Eventually, they will become worn out and become overheated, which will cause them to warp and deform. This will cause them to contact the brake pads unevenly, resulting in some vibration when you're braking. If you find that your Jeep is starting to vibrate, you need to have your Jeep inspected and serviced right away by our professionals here at Chrysler of Culpeper so you can prevent damage to your tires, brakes, and other components. Getting your brakes serviced is critical to the overall health of your vehicle.
