Brake Repair at Gordon CDJR

Welcome to the All-New Gordon Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM!

A properly functioning brake system on your vehicle is more than a luxury - it’s a lifesaver. But what happens when your car needs a brake repair? Read on to find out.

Why Brake Repair is Important

Brakes are often considered the most important safety equipment on a vehicle. However, brake system parts wear down with use and lose their effectiveness. Regular service from experienced technicians is critical to keep the brake system at its best.

When You Should Get Brake Repair

When is it time for a brake repair? Drivers should get their brakes checked at least every 50,000 miles. If you do a lot of city driving or hauling heavy loads, you will need your brakes serviced sooner.

Other signs that you should have your brakes serviced as soon as possible include squealing or grinding noises during braking. If the car pulls to one side while braking, other parts of the brake system may need to be replaced. If the brakes feel too soft or too hard, or if the car takes longer to stop than expected, a brake repair is needed.

The Brake Repair Process

Cost of Brake Repair

Generally, brake pad replacement costs $150-300 per axle with parts and labor included. Factors influencing cost include quality of materials and whether other components also need replacement. We offer service specials and rebates which may help drivers save on the cost of brake repair. Our offerings change frequently, so check back often!

Questions to Ask Your Service Technician

If your car pulls to the side or shows other irregular characteristics while braking, let the technician know. These could be signs of more serious problems with the brake system.

Signs of a Quality Brake Repair

The best sign that a brake repair has been done correctly is that afterwards, the vehicle stops easily. A good test is to check how quickly the car can go from a normal driving speed of 35-50 mph down to 5 mph. It should take no more than a few seconds.

Caring for Your Vehicle After Brake Repair

Adopting safe driving habits is the best way to help your brakes last. Slowing your speed and increasing your distance from the vehicle in front of you eases stress on brake components, keeping them more prepared when an emergency arises.
