We need our vehicles to be able to stop at a moment’s notice. With National Brake Safety Awareness Month underway, it’s time to make sure yours are up to the challenge. Mercedes-Benz of Owings Mills shares why you should prioritize Mercedes-Benz brake service this month.
Why Maintenance is Important
Good brakes can be the difference between being involved in a collision or staying safe on the road. Your brakes can wear down as you drive, so you need routine maintenance to keep them functioning optimally. Plus, brake service helps to prevent brake damage, so you can avoid expensive repairs, and you won’t need replacements as often.
Brake Service Tasks
During a brake service appointment, our certified Mercedes-Benz technicians will carefully inspect your brake system to look for damage or wear. We’ll also check to see if any parts have become too compromised and need to be replaced. While the specifics of your appointment may differ, tasks typically include:
- Brake pad replacement
- Rotor resurfacing or replacement
- Brake fluid replacement if/as necessary
- Clean and lubricate or replace brake calipers
- Line and hose inspection, replacing if necessary
Signs You Need Brake Service
It's essential to follow the maintenance schedule outlined in your owner’s manual. However, it’s still important to watch for warning signs that you need additional brake service. Keep an eye out for squealing or grinding noises when you stop, a spongy or vibrating brake pedal, a shaky steering wheel, or a brake warning light on your dashboard.
