Schedule Your Car Brake Replacement in Johnstown, NY

At Brown's Ford of Johnstown, our number one priority is the safety of our customers and that's why we recommend routine brake checks at our Ford service department in Johnstown, NY. With regular use, brakes go through wear and tear over time and need to be replaced as often as 20k miles. Keeping up with preventative brake service will help prevent more serious problems occuring in the future and will keep you safe on the road.

How to Know if Brakes are Bad?

Depending on the usage, brakes need to be replaced every 20,000 to 35,000 miles. The signs you need to replace your brakes include:

• Pulsing brake pedal or shaking steering wheel when using brakes
• Hear a squealing or grinding noise when using brakes
• Brake feels soft or “spongy”
• Car pulls to one side
• Can smell a "burning" odor when using brakes
• Service indicator light is lit up on your dashboard

If you're experiencing any of these issues, you should schedule a service appointment for a full brake inspection in Johnstown ASAP. Our service repair experts at Brown's Ford will check all of your vehicle's brake parts and help determine if you need to replace the brakes or if it's the calipers, pads, or rotors. Continuing to drive with worn down parts can cause your vehicle's brakes to fail while driving and can ultimately cause an accident.
