Best Quality Brake Repair and Replacement — The Village Apple Valley
Your Brakes and Your Safety
Your brakes are an integral piece of the safety systems your car manufacturer built into your vehicle. Under normal circumstances, you expect your car to keep you safe on the road–barring driver errors, of course. Your brakes play a central role in keeping you safe as they allow you to slow and stop safely. At Big Apple Automotive, we believe a comprehensive preventative maintenance schedule is the best step any driver can take to keep their vehicle safe and running at its best. As part of that preventative maintenance schedule, our ASE-Master Certified technicians will inspect, diagnose, and repair issues with your brakes. They’ll provide you with long-lasting solutions that fit your needs and your budget so you don’t have to worry about your brakes failing when you need them most.
Signs of Brake Failure
Your brakes should operate silently under normal circumstances. If you hear squeaking or squealing when you press the brake pedal, that’s a sign of problems. Such noises usually mean your brake pads have reached their minimum thickness and need to be replaced soon. All brake pads wear. With enough wear, metal threads or “hairs” embedded in the pad are exposed, and they are what causes the squealing or squeaking sounds. While technically still useful, when your brake pads squeal, it’s time to bring your car to us at Big Apple Automotive in Apple Valley, CA, so our service advisor can share with you the best option for replacement. If your brakes grind, the situation is a little direr. Grinding sounds from your brakes mean the pads have completely worn away, and you’re now braking with metal-on-metal contact. This type of contact can cause catastrophic brake failure that requires expensive and time-consuming repairs. A grinding sound when you press the brake pedal means it’s time to get your vehicle to our closest location and let our ASE-Master Certified technicians complete the repairs as soon as possible.
