Ford Brake Repairs
Does My Ford Need Brake Service?
Your Ford is one of the most valuable possessions you own, so it’s essential to ensure it’s always in the best driving condition. The brakes are one of the most crucial parts of the vehicle, so replacing them when they are worn should be a priority. Many are unaware of the warning signs that indicate you need to schedule Ford brake service at your local New England Ford Authorized Service Center. Ford cares about the health of its vehicles, which is why they offer a Lifetime Brake Pad Guarantee for all customers. Speak with your local Ford Service Center staff to see if your vehicle’s brakes qualify for the Lifetime Brake Pad Guarantee or any other Ford brake specials.
How Can I Tell If My Brakes Need Service?
There are a few key methods that indicate you should schedule an appointment for Ford brake service. First, check the thickness of your brake pad. You can do this by looking between your wheel spokes at the pad that is against the rotor. If the pad looks to be more than ¼ of an inch thick, then your brake pads are most likely still acceptable. If the brake pad is less than ¼ of an inch, schedule an appointment at your local Ford Service Center to receive expert Ford brake service. You may also need Ford brake service if your brakes are squeaky. A small metal shim on your brakes gives a warning indication that sounds like metal scratching when it’s time for you to have your vehicle's brakes replaced. Take a look at some other signs that you may need brake service.
Other Signs of Brake Wear
There are other signs to look for to tell if your brakes require extra care. Schedule an appointment at your local Ford Authorized Service Center if you notice any of the following indicators:● Responsiveness Problems - How responsive are your brakes? If your brake pedal seems to feel loose or pushes down too easily, the brake line on your vehicle may be having an issue. Whether there is air in the brake line or a brake fluid leak, you should have an expert take a look and perform the required repairs.● Brake Grinding - Is there a grinding sound coming from the brakes of your Ford car, truck, or SUV? It’s different from the squeak of a metal shim, likely a very unpleasant sound. You may need to schedule an appointment to have your brakes turned or replaced.● Uneven Wearing - When you brake, does your vehicle drift left or right? This indicates your brakes may be wearing unevenly or that there is an issue with the brake fluid. Ask an expert to take a look to establish the cause of the drifting and perform the necessary Ford brake service.
