The Importance of Brake Service

Brake Service

It is more important than ever during the cold winter months to ensure your brakes are properly maintained when there is an increased risk of snow and ice on the roads. Poor brake maintenance reduces your vehicle’s longevity and performance which contributes to accidents, injuries, and road deaths.

What is a Brake service?

Brake service is a catch-all term for everything to do with your brakes. A brake inspection will be performed first to ensure that all components are in good working order. Next, your service technician will inspect your brake pads, rotors, clips, and Calipers to ensure that everything is in good working order. Finally, if any repairs or replacements are required, your technician will consult you to see if the repairs can be completed on the same day.

One of the most important systems in your vehicle is the braking system. Everyone wants to know that their brakes will not fail and that they can safely bring their vehicle to a stop.

The following are some signs that your brakes need to be inspected by a Master Mechanic.

  • The vehicle pulls to one side or the other when the brakes are applied
  • Brake grinding sensation
  • The brakes are slow to react
  • The brake light on the dashboard is red and flashing

Is a Brake Service Necessary?

A regular brake service is necessary to maintain the performance of a vehicle. To ensure a safer journey, you must follow specific rules to ensure all components are working properly.ย  Therefore, regular brake repair and maintenance is essential. Here are some of the top reasons why you need brake diagnostics:

Protection

Taking your vehicle in for proper servicing at least once a year is critical. But what if your car brakes make unusual noises while driving? This could be due to various factors that only a professional mechanic can address.

Furthermore, old, loose, low-quality car brakes can cause severe steering problems, leading to serious accidents. Ensure your car brakes are in good working order to keep you and your passengers safe.

It saves a lot of money for the future

When you take your car for service, it will continue to run smoothly for longer. A car with well-maintained brakes can last for many kilometers without needing to be replaced. Furthermore, a regular inspection ensures optimum safety.

Accidents, as we all know,ย  can cost both lives and a lot of money. If you want to protect yourself and others on the road, it’s best to service your car brakes regularly.

Extend the life of your brakes

Regular maintenance of your car brakes ensures that both the brakes and the vehicle have a long life. Always contact the best mechanics, and don’t be afraid to spend money to ensure the safety of your vehicle. Remember that it is your car brakes that keep you safe from danger.

Yesterday I went in to get an oil change and switch out my snow tires at True Auto Care. I have been going there since I moved to Fergus 4 years ago, and there customer service and quality of work has always been exemplary (a nice change after having lived in the GTA). They're also very accommodating around scheduling when last minute changes need to be made.

Good and timely service! I was called about a worn serpentine belt, given the price and asked if I wanted True Auto to repair. I did, and they charged what was quoted. I recommend True Auto! ๐Ÿ‘

Jack Moesker Mar 3, 2016

My Acura broke down near Fergus the other day- I was able to limp it into the shop. They took care of it the next day (surprisingly quick!) which made me even happier! Even more appreciated was the texting feature- they gave me the breakdown on my car and the other issues it may be having. Very timely and efficient in my opinion. There was no nonsense, no up-selling, and no pressure tactics- part of why I am so impressed. Canโ€™t say that for every shop out there. Facility is also very clean and up to date. I have happily referred my sister and brother in law (who live in Fergus) to this auto centre.

Jamie Martinello Jan 1, 2023

I called this morning to get a crack in my windshield repaired, new tires, and also brighter head lights installed. It was all completed the same day. They were professional from start to finish. I will be taking my truck in the future to True Auto Care.

Eric Perreault Jan 1, 2023

Great people, great place.

Leo Gainouline Jan 1, 2023

Always amazing service, I have been coming here since moving to Fergus in 2016, and will continue to do so! Kyle was so helpful.

Victoria Heppolette Nov 11, 2022

Friendly and informative staff. The technician told me that my vehicle didn't need the service that I called about. They could have taken advantage but instead, they were honest and forthright. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Jacquie D'Abbenigno Nov 11, 2022

Thanks Jenna and team for providing a quick and efficient service and tyre change while doing a full inspection to decide on any possible future maintenance. Great work!

Patrick Cushion Oct 10, 2022

Back in 2007 I purchased a brand new Mini Cooper convertible. During the warranty period I dealt with the Mini dealership. In August 2012 there was a noise from under the car. Turned out to be a muffler. This was my first interaction with True Auto Care. The muffler came with a lifetime warranty. Fast forward to August 2022 when a new noise appeared from under the car. After removing a couple rotten pipe sections and replacing with new sleeves the exhaust problem was solved. That was a span of 10 years. Over that time I have trusted my Mini to no one else but True Auto Care for all its necessary service. In a week my wife and I will be moving from Elora, where we've lived for the last 40 years, to Kitchener (we jokingly call it East Berlin.) The move in no means means that we will be searching for a new company to service our vehicles; no, we will continue to trust True Auto Care and will return to them for any service required, even if we have to have the vehicle's towed to Fergus. BTW, that muffler on the Mini is still doing its job. . โ€” Brian Cameron
