FAQ
At Cochrane Automotive, we provide comprehensive brake services, including replacement of brake pads, rotors, and calipers; servicing of brake shoes and drums; parking/emergency brake repairs; and brake fluid flushes. Our expert technicians ensure your braking system operates safely and effectively.
Signs that your brakes may need servicing include squeaking or grinding noises, a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibrations when braking, longer stopping distances, or a brake warning light on your dashboard. If you experience any of these issues, it’s best to bring your vehicle in for an inspection.
During a brake inspection, our technicians check the brake pads, rotors, calipers, shoes, drums, and fluid levels. We look for signs of wear, leaks, or damage and test the brake system to ensure it functions properly. Regular inspections help catch potential issues early, keeping you safe on the road.
Brake pads typically need replacement every 30,000 to 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits and conditions, while rotors may last longer but should be inspected regularly. Signs of wear include squealing sounds or reduced braking efficiency. Our technicians can assess the condition of your brakes and recommend the best time for replacement.
A brake fluid flush involves removing old, contaminated brake fluid from the system and replacing it with fresh fluid. This helps maintain brake responsiveness and prevents corrosion. Generally, a brake fluid flush is recommended every 2 to 3 years or as specified in your vehicle’s maintenance schedule.
The parking or emergency brake system helps keep your vehicle stationary when parked, especially on inclines. Over time, components can wear out or become misaligned, reducing effectiveness. If your parking brake feels loose or doesn’t hold well, it may need adjustment or repair.
Regular brake maintenance improves safety, prevents costly repairs, and extends the lifespan of brake components. It ensures your vehicle stops efficiently, reduces wear on brake parts, and provides peace of mind while driving.
