Your brakes are one of the most important safety systems on your vehicle. When they start showing signs of wear, getting them checked sooner rather than later can save you money in the long run and keep you safer on the road every day. At Mathews Ford in Sandusky, our certified technicians are trained to inspect, service, and repair Ford brakes using genuine parts built for your specific model.
Signs Your Brakes Need Attention
Not sure if your brakes need service? Here are a few things to watch for:
- Squealing or grinding noise when you stop
- A soft or spongy feeling when you press the brake pedal
- Your vehicle pulling to one side when braking
- The brake warning light appearing on your dashboard
Brake pads typically last between 25,000 and 50,000 miles, but stop-and-go driving around Sandusky can wear them down faster than average. If you notice any of the signs above, it is a good idea to schedule an inspection as soon as possible.
What a Ford Brake Inspection Covers
When you bring your vehicle to Mathews Ford, our team takes a close look at the full brake system. That includes brake pads, rotors, calipers, brake fluid, and brake lines. Getting your brakes checked every 10,000 to 15,000 miles is a good rule of thumb to stay ahead of bigger repairs. This way you always have a clear picture of what is going on and can stay on top of what your vehicle needs.
