Signs your car needs brake repair
At Superstition Springs Lexus in Mesa, AZ, we understand that maintaining your luxury vehicle goes beyond timely oil changes. While routine services like brake pad replacement aren't as frequent, they're just as essential for the performance and safety of your Lexus. In addition to your regular maintenance checks, keep an eye and ear out for signs of brake wear. If you notice anything unusual, bring your vehicle to us for expert brake service.
How Often Should You Replace Lexus Brake Pads?
Brake pad replacement depends on driving habits. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, carry heavy loads, or take frequent short trips, your brakes may wear out faster. To keep your Lexus in optimal condition, we recommend having your brakes inspected at least once a year to assess their wear.
If you hear a high-pitched squeal when applying the brakes, it's time to replace them. That sound is a clear indicator that the brake pads are getting thin. However, even before the wear indicator sounds, we advise replacing your front and rear brake pads when they reach 3mm thickness for safety and performance.
OEM Lexus Brake Pads vs. Aftermarket
For the best performance, choose OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Lexus brake pads. These are specifically designed to fit your vehicle and meet Lexus' strict standards for durability, safety, and reliability. While aftermarket parts may be cheaper, they don't offer the same long-term dependability or the assurance that you're using parts that match the original specifications of your Lexus.
Common Brake Issues to Watch For
Pay attention to these signs of potential brake problems:
- Pulling: If your car pulls to one side when braking, it could indicate issues with the brake pads, rotors, or even suspension problems.
- Vibration: A vibrating steering wheel or pedal during braking is often a sign of warped rotors.
- Spongy Pedal: A spongy brake pedal could mean air in the brake lines, which requires a brake fluid flush.
- Grinding: If you hear a grinding noise, it indicates metal-on-metal contact, which can cause severe damage to the braking system and result in brake failure.
If you're experiencing any of these issues, our team at Superstition Springs Lexus can help you get your brakes back to top condition.
When to Change Brake Fluid
We recommend changing your brake fluid every 20,000 miles or every two years, whichever comes first. If you're unsure when your brake fluid was last replaced, have one of our certified technicians inspect it during your next visit. If you're looking for a reliable brake fluid flush, schedule an appointment with us today.
