Why Brake Maintenance Matters

Your car's brake pads, rotors, calipers, fluid, and lines all play a vital role in your braking system. Brake fluid also has a significant impact on the performance of your pads and rotors, and neglecting your brake system can greatly reduce the lifespan of these parts. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to keep your brakes operating safely and reliably for years to come, and addressing minor brake issues early can save you real money on maintenance costs.

Warning Signs Your Hyundai Needs Brake Service

Your car's brake system will almost always alert you to a potential problem before it becomes an emergency. If you notice any of the following, schedule a brake inspection as soon as you can:

• Squealing, grinding, or other unusual noises coming from your brakes

• Pulling to one side when you apply pressure to the brake pedal

• A soft or spongy brake pedal, or one that becomes too hard or difficult to press

• A brake pedal that travels farther than it used to, or sinks toward the floor under pressure

• Vibrations in the brake system or steering wheel when you apply the brakes

• Brake fluid that looks like dark brown oil rather than light brown fluid

• Your ABS or brake warning light is on

• Your car's stopping distance has increased

If you notice any of these while driving in Streetsboro, Kent, Akron, or the surrounding area, schedule a brake inspection at Great Lakes Hyundai as soon as possible.

How Often Should You Get Your Brakes Serviced?

Most manufacturers recommend having your brakes serviced at least once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Some situations call for more frequent maintenance, cars used for towing or driven on hilly or mountainous terrain often need more regular brake inspections. Our technicians can help you figure out the right schedule based on your driving habits. It's also a good idea to have your brakes checked during any tire rotation or battery service, since our technicians can inspect your entire brake system during those visits.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hyundai Brake Service

How do I know if my Hyundai needs brake service?

Many owners first notice a problem through unusual sounds from the brakes, most drivers recognize the sound that means brake pads need replacing. You may also notice it's become harder to stop or slow the car, or that it pulls to one side when braking. If you notice any of these signs, bring your car in for a brake inspection.

How long do brake pads last on a Hyundai?

Depending on driving habits, most Hyundai brake pads last between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. Stopping power and braking performance can decline significantly as pads wear down, but our technicians can inspect pad thickness and let you know how much life is left.
