What Does the Inspection Involve?
During a brake system inspection, a technician checks all of your brake components for damage and wear. This includes measuring the thickness of the brake pads to see if they need to be replaced.
The technician will inspect the calipers and rotors for damage and assess the movement and function of the brake pedal. Checking the brake fluid level, inspecting the lines for leaks, and checking the fluid for contamination are also essential parts of a routine brake check.
Why Schedule an Inspection if Nothing Is Wrong?
Brake problems often have symptoms, such as noises, changes in how the car brakes, or an illuminated warning light. However, by the time these symptoms become noticeable, the damage might already be done. For example, a brake line leak might be easy to overlook until you begin seeing symptoms of low brake fluid. A routine inspection can uncover a leak before it starts to affect your vehicle’s performance.
A brake problem that goes unnoticed can lead to additional damage. Brake pads, for instance, must be replaced promptly when they wear down. If you ignore the telltale squeal of the brake wear indicator, you may wind up with damaged rotors that need to be resurfaced or replaced. Having your brakes inspected regularly can identify common issues, such as worn brake pads, and address them before they cause further damage.
When Should Brakes Be Inspected?
The lifespan of brake components varies depending on individual driving habits. For instance, drivers who commute daily in the city put more wear and tear on their brakes than those who do most of their driving on the highway. Generally, however, it’s a good idea to have your brakes inspected at least twice a year. You can schedule an appointment just for a brake system check, or you can request an inspection when you bring your car in for a routine oil change or tire rotation.
You should schedule an appointment for a brake system inspection right away if you notice any signs of brake trouble, such as a squealing or grinding noise, pulling or vibration when braking, or a soft or spongy brake pedal. Many symptoms have more than one potential cause, so you should get a professional opinion as soon as possible.
Regular inspections can prevent a small problem from becoming a costly emergency. Keep your Porsche running smoothly and safely by contacting Porsche West Broward in Davie, FL to schedule service today.
