Brake repair is just one of the essential services we offer here at Brunswick Auto Mart, but our job goes well beyond inspections and brake pad replacements. We believe that sharing auto service and repair information is an important step in supporting our Brunswick drivers.
That’s why our team is here to offer up the tips you need to protect your brakes now and in the future.
How Can I Protect My Brakes?
The new Jeep®, RAM, Dodge and Chrysler vehicles available at our dealership are designed to keep you safe, but it’s still important to bring your vehicle in for regular brake service and repairs. Here are a few steps you can take to reduce the impact on your brakes and keep them protected.
- Look at Your Driving Habits: Driving too fast can put a lot of strain on your brakes, but so can local city trips where you have to stop at every light. While braking is a key part of the driving experience, look at where and when you’re braking most and try to find ways to reduce the need to brake.
- Lessen Your Cargo: Jeep SUVs and RAM trucks are designed to carry, but the heavier your vehicle, the more your brakes have to work to stop effectively. Remove extra cargo you don’t need to keep your brakes lasting longer.
- Embrace the Coast: Your vehicle will come to a stop on its own after a time. If it’s safe to do so, try to coast to slow or allow for engine braking, rather than using the brakes.
- Get Regular Brake Service: It’s important to get car service in Brunswick, like the kind here at our dealership. Brake inspections, repairs, and replacements improve and protect brake health.
