The brakes of your vehicle are what allow you to come to a complete stop when you’re on your excursions in Indianapolis. Because of the many components involved in this system, these parts will degrade with the passing of time. That is why we at Eastgate CJDR are here to shed some light on how they are inspected, repaired, and some warning signals to be aware of. If you have questions by the end, do not hesitate to contact us so we can adequately answer your inquiries!
Brake Test
When inspecting brakes, there are several aspects that we investigate to surmise the amount of wear they have sustained after a few roundtrips to Newfields. Firstly, the vehicle is raised and the tires are removed so that we can properly assess the condition of these parts. To do this effectively, diagnosing the condition of your pads and rotors for any signs of warping or other forms of degradation is in order. Afterwards, a road test is performed in which the end goal is to determine how your components perform when coming to a stand-still. Then, the auto is driven to a velocity of approximately 30 MPH, and then the brakes are applied so we may check for any signs of pulsation or unwanted noises. Moreover, we will also take note of how long it takes to halt your vehicle at highway speeds as well.
Brake Repair
As alluded to above, a braking system is composed of a web of interconnected parts that gradually wear down after many cruises down the USS Indianapolis Memorial Highway. Some of these elements include, but are not limited to, your pads, hoses, calipers, and rotors. Additionally, we may also perform what is known as a brake flush, which is when the fluid that is necessary to stop your vehicle is drained and swapped with a fresher variety. Regardless of what modules are replaced, the specialized technicians at our Service Department will work diligently to get you back on the road with full confidence again. You can also take comfort in knowing that they utilize OEM parts if any of these components need to be interchanged, which means that your ride is equipped with new parts that are manufacturer recommended.
Warning Signs
You’ve been made aware of what the brake test and replacement process entails, so it’s also advantageous to be familiar with some telltale prompts that they should be inspected soon. Think for a moment about that last trip that you took to Leonard Park. Did you happen to hear any squealing or screeching noises when you grinded to a halt? If so, that could be a sign that your pads are starting to weaken. A self-diagnosis that you can perform is to step on the brakes and assess the level of resistance that you feel when doing so. You should schedule an appointment with us if you find that your pedal nearly hits the floor and there is minimal force acting against you. Finally, if your brake light indicator is illuminated on your instrument panel, that is a tried and true sign that there is an issue that should be examined closely.
