Common Brake Problems 

For those wondering if they need to come see CNM Auto Repair for their brakes, we have some common problems you should note. Generally, brake repair follows reports of things including leaking fluids, vibrations at the steering wheel and brake pedal, spongy or soft brakes, delayed engagement from brakes, unresponsive steering, loose steering, tire damage, dragging brakes, a light on the dashboard, as well as general safety concerns from you while behind the wheel. These issues should be taken seriously, especially if you notice longer distances between your foot on the brake and your car making a complete stop. We see everything from worn to defective parts here at CNM, so we are not scared of a challenge. You can visit us in Lancaster today as soon as possible for brake repair. We back our work with a 36-month/36,000-mile warranty.  

Pad and Rotor Upkeep 

One of the more common problems that lead to brake repair has to do with worn parts of this system. The pads and rotors of your brakes will need the most frequent replacements, with pads lasting an average of 25,000 to 65,000 miles, while your rotors should be replaced between 30,000 and 70,000 miles. That said, every car, truck, or SUV is different, and your unique driving habits will impact how long the pads and rotors of your brakes stay effective. This is another reason why our staff recommends scheduling six-month brake checks here at CNM Auto Repair, as that allows us to test these components and make adjustments or replacements if needed and prevent last-minute fails while you are driving. You can never be too on top of things, especially regarding your brakes.
