What is Routine Brake Service?

Many customers often wonder what brake service is and what happens during it. Brake service is when our factory-trained and certified service technicians perform a brake inspection to ensure all of your components are working correctly. They will check the brake pads, rotor clips, and calipers. You can expect them to inspect the entire braking system, which includes:

  • Brake pads
  • Brake rotors or brake discs
  • Brake shoes
  • Brake fluid
  • Brake pedal
  • Brake hoses
  • Brake lines
  • Brake assemblies
  • Brake motors
  • Parking brakes

We work efficiently to ensure your Acura vehicle is performing at its best so it’s safe for the roads.
 

What Does a Full Brake Service Include?

When a full brake service is needed, we’ll flush out the old brake fluid and replace it with fresh, new brake fluid, as well as replace your brake pads, resurface the rotors, and clean, adjust, and lubricate the other braking mechanisms. It could also include:

  • Hardware replacement
  • Replace or rebuild the calipers or wheel cylinders
  • Replace any hoses, lines, or master cylinder if we find any leaks
  • Check and adjust the parking brake

A team member will always speak with you to discuss any issues found and their recommendations to restore your brakes to ensure they continue working for safe driving.
 

Brake Service Intervals

So, when would the service experts recommend brake repair service? You should schedule your brake service once you reach 30,000 miles on the odometer. Once you have hit 60,000 miles, you’ll have your brakes serviced, which includes an inspection of the brake rotors, and replaced if needed. Our service experts are standing by to answer your service interval questions!
