Brake repair and replacement: Well worth a stop at Serra Ford Farmington Hills

There are times when the ability to safely stop your Ford truck or SUV can be vitally important. At our service center at Serra Ford Farmington Hills in Farmington, MI, we put a high priority on making sure your brakes can protect you no matter where you drive around Livonia or South Lyon, MI. So here are some guidelines on how we can help guard the integrity and effectiveness of your Ford's braking system.

Some fundamentals of braking system maintenance

We recommend having your brakes inspected every six months or 6,000 miles, at a minimum. One area we'll focus on is your brake pads. They can wear out fairly easily because they're used so often. If you hear a squeaky noise when you step on the brake pedal, that could be a sign that your pads are wearing out.

If that happens, it's important to schedule a service appointment with us right away. By the time you're hearing squeaks as you drive around Northfield, MI, your pads might be worn out, and that can mean your rotors will need replacing as well. A regular inspection can help you avoid that extra expense.

Taking care of your brake fluid

Every time you step on the brake pedal, your brake fluid is the conduit that transfers your command to the brake pads and rotors that stop the car. The challenge is that brake fluid can attract moisture and that can damage your braking system. That's why we recommend checking and changing your brake fluid every 25,000 miles. We also recommend bleeding excess air out of the brake line to help your braking system operate more effectively.
