Don’t Get Stuck on the Side of the Road: Essential Brake Repair Information

Your brakes are arguably the most important safety feature on your truck. They allow you to slow down and stop safely, preventing accidents and keeping you in control of your vehicle. Here at Diesel Works, we want to empower you with knowledge about brake repair and ensure your peace of mind on the road.

Recognizing the Signs You Need Brake Repair:

Several telltale signs indicate your brakes need attention. Don’t ignore these warnings:

• Grinding, squealing, or clunking noises: These sounds often mean worn brake pads making contact with the rotors.
• Soft or spongy brake pedal: This can indicate air in the brake lines, low brake fluid, or worn pads.
• Vibrations when braking: This can be caused by warped rotors or uneven brake pad wear.
• Vehicle pulling to one side while braking: This could signal a problem with the brake caliper or uneven pad wear.

What to Expect During a Brake Repair Service:

A brake repair service at Diesel Works typically involves:

• Inspection: Our mechanics will thoroughly inspect your brake pads, rotors, calipers, and other components to identify any issues.
• Pad replacement: In most cases, worn brake pads are the culprit. We’ll replace them with high-quality parts following manufacturer specifications.
• Rotor resurfacing or replacement: Severely worn or warped rotors may need resurfacing or replacement to ensure smooth braking.
• Caliper repair or replacement: In some cases, calipers may require repair or replacement.

The Importance of Regular Brake Maintenance:

Regular brake inspections are crucial for maintaining your safety and avoiding costly repairs down the road. We recommend scheduling brake inspections at least once a year, or more frequently if you drive a lot or in harsh conditions.
